The Murugappa group company said the net profit for H1 FY23 stood at ₹1,234 crore (₹850 crore), reflecting a growth of 45 per cent.

The nutrient and allied business contributed ₹9,461 crore (₹5,478 crore) to the revenues.
“The agricultural environment remained favourable in most of the key operating markets with above average monsoon, normal crop sowing coupled with favourable policies from the Government,” Sameer Goel said.
“Smart sourcing ensured timely availability of key raw materials and the plants operated at higher capacity and improved efficiencies,” he said.
