Basant AgroTech Reports Mixed Financial Results for Q2 FY2026

Basant Agro Tech (India) Limited, a key player in the agricultural sector, has released its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, revealing a mixed performance across various segments.

Revenue and Profit Analysis

The company reported a significant decline in its quarterly revenue, with operations income dropping to Rs 105.83 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to Rs 176.41 crore in the same quarter last year, marking a 40% decrease. Despite this revenue contraction, the company managed to maintain profitability, albeit at a lower level.

Financial Metric	Q2 FY2026	Q2 FY2025	YoY Change
Revenue	105.83	176.41	-40.00%
Net Profit	0.98	2.52	-61.11%
EPS	0.11	0.28	-60.71%

The net profit for the quarter declined to Rs 0.98 crore from Rs 2.52 crore year-on-year, representing a 61.11% decrease. Consequently, the earnings per share (EPS) also dropped to Rs 0.11 from Rs 0.28 in the previous year.

Segment-wise Performance

Basant AgroTech operates across four main segments, each contributing differently to the overall revenue:

Segment	Revenue (Q2 FY2026)
Fertiliser	75.57
Seeds	15.07
LABSA	17.97
Others	3.16

The fertiliser segment remains the largest contributor to the company's revenue, followed by LABSA (Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonic Acid) and seeds.

Half-yearly Performance

For the half-year period, the company showed some resilience:

Revenue increased to Rs 282.24 crore from Rs 249.19 crore
Net profit rose to Rs 3.51 crore from Rs 2.63 crore

This half-yearly growth suggests that despite the quarterly setback, the company has managed to improve its overall performance in the first half of the fiscal year.

Management Approval and Audit Review

The Board of Directors approved these unaudited financial results in their meeting held on November 10, 2025. K.C. Kankariya & Co., the statutory auditors, conducted a limited review of the financial statements and found no material misstatements.

Market Implications

The mixed results present a complex picture for investors. While the quarterly revenue and profit show a significant decline, the half-yearly figures indicate some positive momentum. The company's ability to maintain profitability despite reduced revenue in Q2 may be seen as a sign of effective cost management.

Investors and market analysts will likely be watching closely to see how Basant AgroTech navigates the challenges in the agricultural sector and whether it can leverage its diverse segment portfolio to drive growth in the coming quarters.

As the agricultural sector continues to face various challenges, including climate variability and market fluctuations, Basant AgroTech's performance in the coming quarters will be crucial in determining its market position and investor confidence.
