The short read
GSP Crop Science reported Q1 FY27 revenue of INR386 crores, roughly flat versus INR377 crores a year earlier, with domestic business strength offset by temporary raw material constraints in exports. Profit after tax rose about 16% to INR26.4 crores, helped in part by other income from a land sale, while EBITDA margin stood around 11%. Management described gross margin improvement driven by a shift toward specialty and patented product mix, alongside higher employee and power costs and increased depreciation from the Dahej-Saykha plant capitalization.
