The profits of the company fell on the back of lower volumes for Urea and DAP due to differential in prices of two big players, according to Taurus Securities.

The company’s non-core income also declined by 74% due to the presence of one time gain on disposal of property to EPCL.

On the other hand, the finance cost surged by 52% on account of higher running finance requirement.
