Sharda Cropchem Ltd IPO Review (Apply)

Review By Dilip Davda on August 29, 2014

Sharda Cropchem Ltd (SCL) is a crop protection chemical company engaged in the marketing and distribution of a wide range of formulations and generic active ingredients globally. It is also involved in order based procurement and supply of Belts, general chemicals, dyes and dye intermediates. Over the years the company has primarily, grown organically and its core strength lies in identifying generic molecules, preparing dossiers, seeking registrations, marketing and distributing formulations or generic active ingredients in fungicide, herbicide and insecticide segments. It has also recently entered into the biocide segment and has acquired several registrations from the existing registration holders, primarily, in Europe. As of August 5, 2014, it had over 180 Good Laboratory Practices certified dossiers and as of July 15, 2014 it owned over 1,040 registrations for formulations and over 155 registrations for generic active ingredients across Europe, NAFTA, Latin America and Rest of the World. SCL’s library of dossiers gives it a competitive edge and facilitates us in seeking registrations in different countries in a time efficient manner. This also fosters its ability to operate in and distribute diversified range of formulations and generic active ingredients globally including highly regulated markets, which would not be permitted without such registrations. As of August 5, 2014, it has filed over 500 applications for seeking registrations globally which are pending at different stages.
