DCM Shriram shares surged more than 6% after the company announced a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bayer Crop Science Limited. The collaboration is aimed at accelerating innovation-led, sustainable, and farmer-centric solutions to strengthen India’s agricultural ecosystem. As of 9:24 AM, the shares were trading 5.92% higher at Rs 1,278.10.
Under this broad partnership framework, both companies will jointly explore opportunities to enhance the agri value chain through improved technologies, advanced crop inputs, and integrated advisory solutions. The focus areas include crop protection, seeds, specialty plant nutrition, biologicals, and digital advisory platforms—all of which are becoming essential pillars of modern, data-driven farming.
With Indian agriculture rapidly moving toward precision and sustainability, the alliance is expected to help farmers adopt better practices through digital tools that offer real-time insights and productivity support. The partnership also intends to work closely with farmer organisations to introduce initiatives tailored to local needs, particularly in soil health, carbon sequestration, and climate-resilient farming models.
As part of the MoU, the two companies will also evaluate collaborative opportunities in select segments of the chemicals business, further strengthening operational and technological synergies.
