The company's net profit stood at Rs 39.55 crore in the year-ago period, it said in a regulatory filing.

Revenue from operations marginally rose to Rs 630.39 crore during the October-December period compared to Rs 628.08 crore in the same period of the previous fiscal.

"Our third quarter revenues witnessed 0.3 per cent growth over last year. This has been in the backdrop of erratic rainfall in the domestic market and headwinds in international business. During the quarter, our domestic crop protection business grew by 7.7 per cent, crop nutrition business by 22 per cent," Rallis India Managing Director and CEO Sanjiv Lal said.

Exports declined by 6.5 per cent, primarily due to inventory build-up at the customer end, he added.

"Our long-term focus continues to be investing in growth through new product introduction, expanding our retail footprint, and investing in flexible multipurpose manufacturing plants for our new product pipeline," Lal added.
