Financially, the company’s long-term growth metrics show modest expansion. Net sales have grown at an annual rate of 7.86% over the past five years, while operating profit has increased at a rate of 8.43% during the same period.

In summary, Godrej Agrovet . has experienced a notable decline to its 52-week low of Rs.560.4, reflecting a combination of subdued price momentum, below-par returns relative to the broader market, and mixed financial performance.
