**Verified:** 5 October 2026 05:30 am IST ![Coromandel International](https://citizen.complainthub.org/uploads/default/original/2X/e/e34cd238c3d2f8166dce84b87b6d06484c330a31.png) > **Industry:** Agri-Inputs, Fertilizers & Crop Protection > **Jurisdiction:** India > **Primary Regulators:** Department of Agriculture / Department of Fertilizers, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), & SEBI (for investors) **Important Safety Warning:** Beware of fake customer service numbers on Google. Only use official channels. Scammers frequently buy ads to promote fraudulent phone numbers or fake Gromor dealership approval portals. Coromandel International staff will never ask for your bank details, UPI PIN, or password for a “dealership application fee,” “vendor registration,” or “dividend payout.” ## Level 1: Customer Support (Initial Complaint) **How to complain:** Do not search for random toll-free numbers online. For immediate assistance regarding fertilizers (Gromor), crop protection products, or general farmer inquiries, call the dedicated Farmer Toll-Free Helpline at **1800-425-2828**. For written retail complaints and product queries, use the official contact portal at `coromandel.biz/contact-us`. For B2B vendor relations, official corporate inquiries, or stakeholder queries, call the Secunderabad Registered Office switchboard at **+91-40-66997300** or the Chennai Corporate Office at **+91-44-42525300**. Ensure you receive a formal written acknowledgment or service request ticket number for your correspondence. **Availability:** The farmer toll-free helpline and corporate offices operate during standard business hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM IST. **Timeline:** General corporate policy and retail guidelines typically aim for an initial response or resolution within 7 to 15 business days. ## Level 2: Formal Corporate Escalation (Notice of Dispute) **Who to contact:** If the initial desk (Level 1) or your regional sales manager fails to resolve your issue within the stipulated time, you must escalate the matter formally. You can send a formal written complaint via registered post to the Company Secretary / Compliance Officer at the legal Registered Headquarters: **Coromandel International Limited, Coromandel House, 1-2-10, Sardar Patel Road, Secunderabad - 500003, Telangana, India**. You can also mark a copy to their operational Corporate Office at **Olympia Terraces, #15B(SP), SIDCO Industrial Estate, Guindy, Chennai - 600032, Tamil Nadu**. For corporate compliance, delayed dividends, or shareholder disputes, email the Investor Relations department directly at **[investorsgrievance@coromandel.murugappa.com](mailto:investorsgrievance@coromandel.murugappa.com)**. **Timeline:** You should legally provide the corporate office a 30-day window to investigate and respond to a formal written grievance before escalating to external regulators or commercial tribunals. ## Level 3: Regulatory Authority (Government Ombudsman) **Authority:** Ministry of Consumer Affairs, SEBI, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), or the Department of Agriculture. **Portal/Contact:** If Coromandel International fails to provide a satisfactory resolution within 30 days, your escalation path depends on the specific grievance: - **For Agrochemical/Fertilizer Quality & Consumer Disputes:** File a grievance with the National Consumer Helpline (NCH) by calling **1915** or using the portal at `consumerhelpline.gov.in`. - **For Corporate Compliance & Shareholder Disputes:** File a grievance online via the SEBI SCORES portal at `scores.sebi.gov.in` or the MCA21 portal at `mca.gov.in`. - **For Agricultural/Fertilizer Regulatory Issues:** Escalate formal complaints regarding product efficacy or safety to the respective State Department of Agriculture or via the CPGRAMS portal (`pgportal.gov.in`) routing it to the Department of Fertilizers. ## Level 4: Legal Action (Final Step) **Pre-Litigation:** Ensure you have documented all previous correspondence, product batch numbers, retail invoices, vendor contracts, or investor folios. Send a formal Legal Notice via an advocate to Coromandel’s Secunderabad registered office in Telangana, providing a standard 30-day window for settlement. **Court/Arbitration:** If the legal notice is ignored and the resolution is still unsatisfactory, the final step depends on the nature of your dispute. B2B vendor and commercial supply disputes must be resolved through binding arbitration clauses or the Commercial / High Court. For retail consumer disputes (e.g., defective agricultural inputs resulting in crop loss), you can file a formal complaint through the unified **e-Jagriti** portal (`e-jagriti.gov.in`) to approach the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. **Community Action:** Is Coromandel ignoring a retail fertilizer defect, a vendor payment issue, or a shareholder grievance?
