Outlook & Valuation: The upward momentum in pesticide industry output is expected to continue going forward, backed by a growth in food consumption in the domestic market amid an expected increase in population, government support for agriculture, demand from export markets, and the horticulture and floriculture markets, among others. The penetration of pesticides and agrochemicals in India is low, and this poses an opportunity for growth for agrochemical producers. In addition to this, the government’s aim to reduce dependency on China and improve selfsufficiency is expected to support industry’s backward integration and thus its growth. DGCL has been able to develop strong distribution channels and a stable, diversified product portfolio. The issue is priced at 20 PE of FY22 earnings, which is lower than most of its listed peers, and the company has posted steady growth in both revenue and profit. Profit margins are also rising continuously in a tough environment, so we assign a "Subscribe" rating to this IPO.
