Kothari Industrial Corporation Ltd (KICL) signed an agreement with PayAgri Innovations Private Limited on May 22, 2025, to enter the agri-commodities trading business. Under the arrangement, KICL will receive purchase orders from corporate and institutional buyers, retain a profit margin, and issue back-to-back purchase orders to PayAgri, which will handle sourcing, procurement, processing, and delivery through its vendor network. KICL plans to invest around Rs. 10 crore in this new line of business. PayAgri is a domestic entity with a turnover of about Rs. 114 crore and net worth of roughly Rs. 14 crore as of March 31, 2024. The transaction is not a related-party deal.
This is an asset-light entry into agri-commodities trading with minimal inventory risk, which could diversify KICL's revenue streams. For shareholders, it is a modest positive as the company adds a new business line without major capital outlay, though actual impact will depend on order flow and margin realization from PayAgri.
