This prestigious accolade was presented during a grand ceremony in Dubai, recognizing Safex Group’s groundbreaking development of Renofluthrin, a next-generation mosquito control solution.   Safex Chemicals PMFAI-SML AgChem Awards 2025 The award celebrates Renofluthrin as a transformative innovation that underscores Safex Groups’ commitment to indigenous research, sustainability, and global competitiveness. Renofluthrin is a synthetic pyrethroid molecule designed to tackle the growing challenge of mosquito-borne diseases in tropical regions like India. This innovative product, developed entirely in-house, stands out for its unparalleled effectiveness and versatility across multiple application formats, including the world’s first patented Agarbatti format. “Renofluthrin’s journey was not without challenges as one of the first Indian companies to register a homegrown research molecule locally. Our determination and belief in the molecule’s potential led to a product that is now poised for international success, with global registrations currently underway,” said Mr. Neeraj Jindal, Managing Director, Safex Chemicals. Shogun Organics, a subsidiary of Safex Group initiated the Renofluthrin project a decade ago, driven by the vision of self-reliance and the need to address the global mosquito control challenges. The molecule’s development involved a meticulous research process, led by an expert team specializing in chemistry, entomology, and toxicology.

Pradip Dave, President, Pesticides Manufacturers and Formulators Association of India (PMFAI) & Chairman, Aimco Pesticides Limited

In an interview, Pradip Dave with Chemical Today Magazine gives a holistic growth story of agrochemicals and crop protection industry in India.  

By Shivani Mody

Trends in the agrochemicals and pesticides industry.

The emerging trends for Agrochemicals/Pesticide Industry are good. The next generation Agriculture in the country will include all possible sustainable solutions for crop protection which will include Crop Protection Chemicals, Biotechnology and Seed treatment. The sector faces many challenges but the solutions for the same will lead India in becoming a global manufacturing hub for quality Pesticides/Agrochemicals. Govt. of India is also encouraging and promoting the concept of "Make in India" and thereby manufacturing in India, and effective steps taken in that direction will boost Indian Agrochemical industry.

Opportunities for the agrochemicals and pesticides industry in India.

In India, use of Herbicides and Fungicides are increasing. But consumption of agrochemicals in India is still one of the lowest in the world. Currently per hectare usage of agrochemical formulations in India is only 0.6 kg/ha against 5-7 kg/ha usage in UK; 13 kg/ha usage in China & Japan; 4.5 kg/ha usage by US and world average usage of 3 kg/ha.

Only 25 to 30 percent of cultivated area in India comes under crop protection umbrella. Government's own estimate puts annual crop losses due to pests and diseases in India over Rs 90,000 crores. While our population at present stands at 130 crores, it is expected to reach 150 crores by 2030. There is a dire need to pace our agricultural production, particularly in an era of climate change and ever reducing farmland due to urbanization and housing needs, which forces conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural usages.

Agrochemical industry has a key role in Indian Agriculture to minimize crop losses due to pests and diseases and to increase agricultural productivity of the country, which can contribute to balance the growing needs. The scenario provides greater scope for growth of the industry in coming years.    

Export potential in India for agrochemicals and pesticides industry.

Export of pesticides from India has seen strong growth in recent years. India is one of the largest exporters of pesticides to world market, which mainly constitutes Generic pesticides. Presently Indian pesticide industry is 4th largest in the world after US, Japan and China and in Generic Pesticides production, India stands at No 2 in the world after China.

Presently India exports pesticides worth Rs 13,000 crores to world markets.  Agrochemicals worth $4.1 billion are expected to go off-patent by 2020. This will provide opportunities for Indian Agrochemical Industry to increase their exports, which has greater expertise in Generic segment. The product areas mainly will include Insecticides, Herbicides and Fungicides.

Impact of ban on 18 pesticides by Union Government.

The final decision in this regard is still pending as the Government has received large number of objections against the notification issued in that regard. The 18 pesticides proposed to be banned are all Generic Pesticides having large export scope. The very reason for given for review – “review of products banned in one or more countries” itself is wrong. If a product is banned in any other country for any cause or concerns, Expert Committee must have the scientific approach to first determine relevant issues of concern, and their relevance in Indian context, then ask Indian registrants to address that concern. There must be some parameters for review. Moreover the manufacturers have not been given opportunity by the Review Committee to defend their respective products.

Exploring potential available due to products going off-patent.

As mentioned above, this will be good opportunity for Indian companies as Indian Companies have greater expertise in Generic segment. Access to new off-patent products and innovations could help Indian companies provide new molecules to Indian Farmers as well as export to international markets.

PMFAI had filed a case in Gujarat High Court against CIB&RC policy guidelines allowing registrations for "imports of readymade Pesticide Formulations without registering its Technical Grade Pesticides" in the country. Though "deemed registrations" for Technicals were granted for 3 years under this guidelines, the  Importers were deliberately not registering the Technical Grade pesticides in India even after 3 year period of deemed registrations, with an intention to continue monopoly in Formulations based on such Technicals and avoid competitions from Indian companies.  In the matter, Gujarat High Court given directives to the Government to frame guidelines more transparent as well as more effective so as to provide equal treatment to the indigenous manufacturers as well as importers who are importing such pesticides manufactured outside India. CIB&RC framed new guidelines - TIM (Technical Indigenous Manufacture) v/s. FI (Formulation Import) which allow indigenous manufacturers register the Technical Grade Pesticides and its Formulations by submission of required data.  From April 2016 Registration Committee started implementing the new guidelines and granted registrations to Indian companies for Bispyribac Sodium Technical and Bispyribac Sodium 10 percent SC formulations.  This has resulted in Indian manufacturers selling the Herbicide Bispyribac Sodium 10 percent SC formulations at a price of Rs 3500 per liter which earlier were sold by importers at Rs 8000 per liter.

Advancement and growth drivers for synthetic pesticides.

Global Synthetic Pesticides market is mix of strong performing segments such as Herbicides and Fungicides and less used Insecticides. Increase in Insecticides sales is expected to occur mainly in developing regions most notably Brazil and other Central and South American countries. According to trends global market of Synthetic Pesticide should reach $71.00 billion by 2021 from $56.2 billion in 2016.

Market potential of agrochemicals and pesticides in developed vs the emerging markets.

Global Agrochemical Market is mainly concentrated in the major developed countries such as US and European nations. Europe has the largest share in the Agrochemical market followed by Asia, Latin America and North America.

Herbicides are most widely used Agrochemical products globally, followed by Insecticides and Fungicides. Fungicides are the highest growing segment which helps to increase the yield, improving quality and in seed treatment.

While developed markets mainly use Herbicides and Fungicides, developing regions mainly use Insecticides.  But usage of Herbicides and Fungicides are increasing.
