Best Agrolife Limited has filed its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for the financial year ending March 31, 2026. The disclosure outlines the company’s operational footprint, sustainability metrics, and governance practices for FY26.

Financial Overview

The company reported a standalone turnover of ₹907.27 crore for FY26, down from ₹1,143.65 crore in the previous fiscal year. Its net worth stood at ₹387.97 crore. Best Agrolife operates primarily through the distribution, sales, and marketing of agrochemical products, which accounted for 100% of its turnover.

Product Mix and Markets

Insecticides remained the largest revenue contributor, accounting for 54% of total turnover, followed by herbicides at 26% and fungicides at 14%. Plant growth regulators and other products made up the remaining 6%. The company serves customers across 21 states in India and two international markets.

While exports constitute a modest share of overall revenue, Best Agrolife is expanding its global registration pipeline. Key developments include:

• Two product registrations in Mexico nearing final approval.
• First product registration secured in Thailand.
• Accelerated registration progress for patented molecules in Sri Lanka.
• Expanded registration portfolio in Vietnam through local partnerships.

Human Capital and Safety

As of March 31, 2026, the company employed 465 permanent and non-permanent staff, with no workers reported. Female representation stood at 10% among permanent employees. The board of directors included two women, representing 33.33% of the total.

Employee turnover for permanent staff rose to 45% in FY26, compared to 34% in FY25 and 32% in FY24. Despite the higher churn, the company maintained full coverage for health and accident insurance for all permanent employees.

What the Numbers Show

A notable divergence exists between revenue performance and related-party transactions. While total turnover declined by approximately 21% year-on-year, the share of sales to related parties increased significantly from 9.71% in FY25 to 18.67% in FY26. Conversely, purchases from related parties decreased from 57.28% to 50.89%, suggesting a shift in procurement strategy or supplier base during the period.

Environmental Metrics

Best Agrolife reported total energy consumption from non-renewable sources at 134.06 GJ in FY26, a reduction from 260.89 GJ in FY25. This decline coincided with lower electricity consumption (28,794 units vs 47,136 units) and reduced fuel usage (800 liters vs 2,400 liters). Consequently, energy intensity per rupee of turnover improved to 0.1478 GJ/₹ crore, down from 0.2281 GJ/₹ crore.

Hazardous waste generation increased to 688.03 kg from 116.2 kg in the prior year. The company reported zero lost-time injuries and no fatalities for both employees and workers.

Best Agrolife has fixed September 22, 2026 as the record date to determine shareholders eligible for the dividend for the financial year 2025-26. The company will hold its 35th Annual General Meeting on September 29, 2026.

The AGM will be conducted through video conferencing or other audio-visual means at 12:30 pm. The company notified the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited regarding these dates in a letter dated September 1, 2026.

Corporate Action Details

The record date applies to equity shares listed on both exchanges. The dividend payment date will be on or after the conclusion of the AGM on September 29, 2026, subject to the declaration by the Board of Directors during the meeting.
