Segment Performance
| Segment | Revenue (₹ million) | YoY Growth | EBITDA (₹ million) | EBITDA Margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hi-Tech Agri Input Products | 5,778.00 | 29.5% | 957.00 | 16.6% |

The Hi-Tech Agri Input Products division emerged as the star performer, with a significant 29.5% year-over-year revenue growth. This segment benefited from strong demand for Micro Irrigation Systems, Tissue Culture, Exports, and Solar Agri Pumps.
Challenges and Opportunities
While the Hi-Tech division flourished, the Plastic Division faced headwinds due to an early monsoon and slowdown in government projects, particularly in Maharashtra. This resulted in a 10% decline in revenue for the segment.
The Agro Processing Division saw a marginal revenue decline of 1.5%, attributed to lower mango prices affecting revenue growth. However, the division operated at higher capacity, contributing positively to margins.
Strategic Developments
During the quarter, Jain Irrigation received ₹14,967.00 lakh from warrant holders for the allotment of 42,786,430 ordinary equity shares. This equity infusion is expected to support working capital needs and fuel growth plans.
Management Commentary
The company's management expressed optimism about the future, stating, "With well-spread monsoon and government's commitment for investment in infrastructure, we expect revival of demand for the piping business in H2."
Outlook
Despite challenges in certain segments, Jain Irrigation's management remains focused on execution, innovation, and maintaining financial discipline. The company's diversified portfolio and strategic initiatives position it well to navigate market fluctuations and capitalize on growth opportunities in the agricultural and irrigation sectors.
As the company continues to adapt to market dynamics, investors and stakeholders will be watching closely to see how it leverages its strengths across divisions to drive sustainable growth in the coming quarters.
