However, net sales declined 19.30% year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 4346.18 crore in Q2 FY25, primarily due to lower Phosphatic & Potassic (P&K) fertilisers volumes. Profit before tax (PBT) jumped 30.94% to Rs 749.65 crore in Q2 FY25.

In Q2 FY25, revenue from Urea jumped 19.82% YoY to Rs 3,796 crore while revenue from P&K fertilisers declined 86.77% YoY to Rs 261 crore.
