The time is right for a global leader in manufacturing to be able to serve these needs better, and this is where our expertise comes in. At Tagros, we firmly believe that perfection can be achieved in every venture. Tagros is the leading manufacturer of Synthetic Pyrethroids, Herbicides, Fungicides, Pesticide Intermediates, and Special Formulations, producing 2,500 metric tons of active ingredients and exporting them to over 90 countries.

Coupled with this interest is a policy-level focus on turning India into the new hub for manufacturing. The “Make In India” campaign looks to enable the growth of manufacturing businesses in India with clear economic and policy support. India is innately blessed with a large workforce that allows industries to scale up with ease. When supported by strong export demand, the two make a formidable combination indeed.

But that’s not all. India is also home to a vast repository of scientific knowledge and acumen. Some of the world-leaders in every space come from India, making this a hub for not just production but also innovation- a much-needed

attribute to navigate the uncertainties of a changing global landscape
and economy.

That the Government is also keen to see development and is committed to the idea of “Make In India” is visible in the establishment of the Chemicals Promotion Development Scheme (CPDS), which extends financial aid to conduct seminars, conferences, exhibitions and more to facilitate growth. The Central Institute of Plastic Engineering and Technology also provides skill development avenues and workforce in the chemical sector.

Both the ability to scale and the interest in innovation are core principles at Tagros. As early as 2006, we became the second-largest producer in the world of Deltamethrin and Alpha-cypermethrin. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing and R&D facilities have enabled the company to consistently deliver world-class quality, meeting the stringent WHO and FAO specifications. With the new impetus being provided from the ecosystem, we are sure that the industry and its players will continue to scale new heights.

Currently, there is a huge opportunity waiting to be harnessed in the form of agrochemicals nearing the end date of their patents. Flubendiamide’s patent has just expired, while Rantraniliprole, Cyantraniliprole, Fluopyram are all going to be ready to be manufactured as generic products in the next couple of years.

As we moved into herbicide production earlier this decade, we knew that we wanted to work on challenging chemistries. With a focus on addressing the unique needs of the LATAM market, we set out to develop Sulfentrazone, a landmark step in the development of Tagros as a company as well as in the advancement of the industry at large. Today, we work with a leading multinational company and are one of the largest producers of Sulfentrazone in
the world.

Post COVID 19, we expect that India will become one of the key manufacturing destinations for Agrochemical companies globally.

Hence, apart from manufacturing and regulatory investments in new molecules for the upcoming years, Tagros is also actively in discussion with various partners to explore contract manufacturing possibilities across its sites in India (Cuddalore / Dahej / Ankleshwar). These sites have sufficient spare capacities immediately available for partners interested in moving their products to be outsourced from India in the years ahead.
