3. The end users of our products are farmers. Th e products are sold through a w ide dealer
network through out the country to the farmers. Company faces competition from the market
from other competitors.
4. The company needs to be in constant research and development, which is the main forte of the
company, to develop genetically modified, hybrid seeds and even to invent new species to
produce highly productive seeds. T he input cost for this research and development is on
higher side, which may not necessarily be compensated in the short run.
5. Company’s success largely depends upon its management team and k ey personnel and its
ability to attract an d retain su ch persons. Attracting and retain ing talented professionals is a
key element of our strategy and we believe it to be a sig nificant source o f competitive
advantage. An inability to attract and retain talented professionals, or the resignation or loss of
key management personnel, may have an adverse impact on o ur business, future financial
performance and the price of our Equity Shares.

seasonal and largely sensitive to changes in the climatic conditions. The farming sector is
totally dependent on the weather and any unfavorable weather conditions will prove disastrous
for the farmers in particular and the whole country in general. Under such circumstances

INTRODUCTION
Summary
Nath Seeds Limited, a pioneering research driven Seed Company, had formulated a Scheme of Arrangement to
de-merge the company into three separate companies, namely Nath Bio-Genes (India) Ltd., and Agri-Tech
(India) Ltd., on 14/03/2001. The Scheme was filed before the Hon’ble High Court of Bombay for approval and
the Hon’ble High Court of Bombay had approved the scheme vide its order dated 27/08/2003. Pursuant to the
order being passed the Hon’ble High Court of Bombay approving the scheme, Nath Seeds Limited has
transferred the seed business to Nath Bio-Genes (India) Ltd.
Nath, as a brand, is a household name amongst the farming community. The salient features of the company are
enumerated as under.
Quality Policy
At Nath Bio-Genes (India) Limited we are com mitted to developing producing and supplying consistently
superior quality hybrid seeds to all our customers in a timely manner to help them realize high returns.
The company believes that by implementing the above stated quality policy, the company shall be able to realize
its organizational goals of ‘continuously improved market share and e nhancing national agricultural
productivity’.
Quality Objectives
We believe that quality policy will be realized by our achieving the following objectives: -
Continually developing better hybrids than existing ones and also adding new crops to widen its
products range by taking advantage of the technological advances network.
Helping the seed growers improve the quality of their produce and increase productivity in their fields
by supplying tested seeds and by helping them adopt good seed production practices.
Developing and maintaining long term harmonious business relationship with our suppliers, seed
growers, dealers and distributors.
Developing and maintaining adequate skills and com petence and a sp irit of t eamwork among our
employees.
Ensuring that all the conversion and delivery processes are capable and are so carried out as to
consistently yield the desired results.
Incorporating modern management methods and utilizing of ad vanced performance enhancing tools
such as information technology.
Implementing and m aintaining a quality management system in accorda nce with the requirement of
ISO 9001 of International standards.
Complying with all statuary and regulatory requirements applicable to our business and to do more
than the minimum required possible.
The company was set up to provide quality hybrid seeds to the Indian farmers. With this view R&D activities
were started right from the first day of the company’s incorporation, ever since the company has been working
on development of hybrids in various crops. Newer and newer crops have been added every year. The whole
focus of the Research and Development program has been custom-oriented, meaning thereby what Indian
farmers want was given as an objective to the breeders. These objectives have also been changing year after year
depending on the farmer’s demands. C ompany has so far been able to develop excellent hybrids in Cotton,
Jowar, Bajra, Maize, Sunflower, Mustard, Wheat and Paddy.
The company continues to provide substantial financial allocations to further strengthen its R&D programs. In
fact, intensification of our R&D infrastructure (men and materials, all over the country) was the largest in any
single financial year (2 011-12), thus far. Th e competitive environment in the area of hybrid seeds is rap idly
growing worldwide, so also in our country as well.
6
It is no longer good enough to offer high yielding hybrid varieties to the Indian Farmers. It is now becoming a
mandatory requirement that such hybrids carry add itional built-in value through seed embedded
technologies/genes providing durable protection agains t specific diseases , pests and vagaries of nature
(floods/drought/heat stress etc).
Seeds endowed with multiple value additions, in addition to high yield potential, are much in demand and
eagerly sought after by the modern Indian Farmers. At NBIL, your Company has undertaken specific initiatives
of reaching out even to the rain-fed and largely un-reached farmers. This is in congruence with our national
priorities and commitments, as also in harmony with finding newer areas of opportunities for business. NBIL is
pursuing both Genetic Engineering Technologies as wel l as M olecular-Aided Selection systems to enrich our
crop breeding and product development programs.
Considering the increasing importance of germplasm resources for genetic enhancement of our products, critical
evaluation and long term storage of germplasm collection ass umes greater priority than ever before. The
importance of this vital R&D resou rce has become all the more critical in view of the stringent restrictions
imposed by many public institutions for access to public sector germplasm collection and views.
Your company has, t herefore, viewed these developments with utmost seriousness. We have reviewed and
revamped our entire program of germplasm collections, storage, evaluation and retrieval system.
Numerous duplicate accessions have been removed; the existing ones rejuvenated, re-evaluated and catalogued.
Through R&D asso ciations with institutions such as IRRI (Philippines), International Crop Research Institute
(ICRISAT), Hyderabad, and o ur R&D Co llaborations in Ch ina, Pakistan and several institutions within the
country, we have been strengthening our germplasm collections, especially collecting specific genetic stocks,
breeding lines and elite germplasm to complement our existing collections.
We have also revised the system of peri odic rejuvenation and evaluation using modern tools of molecular
biology so as to better c haracterize our collections as also access the germplasm with greater confidence. The
overall maintenance procedure has been revised ensuring that all precautions and safety majors are all in.
In addition to adding value to our elite range of Bt-cotton hybrids, your Company has undertaken a very large-
scale breeding program of developing GMS (Genetic Male Sterility) based hybrid seed production system. So as
to speed this development process, involving two different Bt technologies (Fusion-Bt and Bollgard-II) and a
wide range of elite breeding lines, the program runs round the year, in specially constructed large poly-houses at
our Isarwadi R&D Farms.
Marketing Initiatives
The company’s product sold under the brand name “NATH” is widely accepted and appreciated by the farming
community of India.
Initially, the company’s marketing thrust was mainly on cotton crop. In the past three years, we have introduced
new hybrids in several crops of national importance namely paddy, bajra, maize, mustard and also vegetables.
Diversification of crop range with region specific and season specific products has helped us in enlarging our
geographical coverage and market share.
The market for the c ompany’s products is spr ead all ov er India. However, the Company commands an
especially strong market position in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujrat and Maharashtra.
Nath Bio-Genes (India) Limited is also the leading producer of hybrid cotton seeds in India. Farmers use its
hybrid seeds all o ver the country except parts of North – East Kerala and Kashmir. T he company has so far
developed and commercially released 72 differe nt hybrids that have be en well accepted by the farmers on
account of their superior yields and characteristics which make them attractive for cultivation.
We have aggressively developed a strong network for distribution and marketing of seeds comprising of 16
branches, 257 distributors and more than 1000 dealers.
Marketing of Seeds needs unconventional methods. Customer being a farmer has to be convinced about the
superiority of the company’s seeds. T o achieve this, the company has organized its marketing activity by
7
creating a network of full-fledged branches all over the country. The Branches are well equipped with godown,
accountant and supporting staff. The marketing staff operates on two levels. Marketing Supervisors deals with
commercial aspects of the selling, whereas, Nath Farmers Advisers (NFA) assists them by promoting hybrid
seeds directly to the farmers. Currently the company has about 100 marketing personnel and more than 300
NFA’s.
Company has also Central Research trial statio ns in important zones of the count ry. Selected hybri ds are
demonstrated in this trial stations season wise. Every branch has a network of distributors and dealers. Dealers
are appointed in practically each and e very Mandy a nd the c ompany has a strong force of dealers and
distributors all over the c ountry. The selected hybrids are made available to the farmers through this elaborate
network. The company being present in the Indian market for over 30 years understands the requirements of the
farmers and knows the pulse of the seeds market. It has a research and breeding program for developing hybrids
for Indian conditions in India.
The company has rural advertising medium like wall painting, hoarding, leaflets, posters, Video, Van campaign,
jeep campaign, participating in farmers meals etc. Th e Company also uses mass media, like Press, R adio and
T.V. for larger reach.
Production Network
The company has a net work of over 10,000 experienced and loyal seed growers in the states of Ma harashtra,
Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh. The company regularly organises training programs
for seed growers to enhance the quality and productivity of seeds. The company develops elite hybrids/ varieties
through in-house breeding activity at Aurangabad and Hyderabad. Newly developed hybrids are tested for their
performance, initially in the Company’s research farms. The promising hybrids as identified at these trials are
planted in fields at Head Quarter to demonstrate their superiority over the best available competitor’s hybrids of
similar characteristics to potential farmers, dealers, and distributors. Based on the opinion / feedback received
from farmers, dealers and distributors during their visit, the hybrids are short listed for further development.
They are demonstrated in many locations covering all the major agro climatic zones of the country. The hybrids
preferred by farmers in this stage are produced and marketed on c ommercial scale. The ce rtified seed is
produced on the farmer’s field under the supervision of company’s technical personnel and t his is the see d
which goes to the farming community for commercial cultivation.
Product Portfolio
The following hybrids were introduced in last three years and are well received by the farmers and are capturing
a large market share.
8
The company has launched “Win-Chi-Win”, a bio-stimulant under exclusive license from a Chinese company.
This wonder product is helping farmers in increasing yield and improving quality of their produce.
After considerable efforts and several interactions with the GM Regulatory officials and committees of the Govt
of Philippines, we could succeed in obtaining approval for conducting t he first Contained Open Field Trial in
the Philippines. In this case, the GMO regulatory procedures are even more stringent than what we have in
India. The field trial conducted at Polomolok, South Mindanao, was the was the first of its kind in the country.
We are pleased to announce that the three three star products of your Company, namely NCEH-21 (Arjun-21),
NCEH-14 (EXPRESS) and NCEH-34 (Jagannath-2) are shining stars in the Philippines as well.
Based on the impressive results of trial, the Biosafety Authority of the Philippines have granted permission for
Multi-Location Trials to be conducted in 2 012-13. These MLTs are cu rrently in p rogress in Southern
Philippines.
Your company will continue to invest in its people. We are developing a programme of recognition and rewards
directly linked to performance. It shall be our continued endeavor to provide each employee the opportunity to
realize his / her full potential. A structured recruitment process has helped your Company attract the right talent.
