In a historic moment for Indian agricultural science, PI Industries has unveiled Pioxaniliprole, India's first indigenously discovered insecticide molecule, developed through more than a decade of original research, sustained investment and scientific innovation. The achievement marks a defining step for the company and India's crop-protection industry. Pioxaniliprole demonstrates the country’s growing capability to originate novel scientific discoveries and create proprietary intellectual property.
Pioxaniliprole brings together this understanding of Indian farming realities with PI's advanced scientific discovery capabilities. Developed to global scientific standards, the molecule has undergone extensive evaluation under Indian agricultural conditions, including multilocation field trials, scientific assessments and regulatory studies, with participation from India's agricultural research ecosystem, including State Agricultural Universities.
Pioxaniliprole has received registration from the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC), under the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Government of India. The Committee formally recognised it as the first insecticide active ingredient discovered in India.
PI Industries is engaged in the business of Agri inputs, Fine Chemicals and Contract Research and Manufacturing Services (CRAMS), Polymers and Engineering Services.
