<p>Rallis India’s managing director and CEO, Sanjiv Lal, said that the delayed monsoon and excessive market stocks had a negative impact on the crop care industry. Better product mix and dynamic price actions essentially maintained margins. Once the inventory situation progressively improves, we continue to be concerned about the foreign market demand recovery over the second half of the year. The recent increase in monsoons has led to optimistic sentiments for the home market.</p>
<p>Despite the short-term difficulties, the CEO said that the company’s long-term strategy, which focuses on expanding production capabilities, product portfolios, and market reach, remains unaltered.</p>
<p>Tata Chemicals’ stock ended Tuesday’s trading session at Rs. 997.60, up 0.40 percent. Shares of Rallis India closed at Rs 220, up 2.3%.</p>
