India · Listed company UPL Limited
UPL is an Indian agricultural group, listed as UPL Limited, whose products cover crop production from establishment in the field to protection of the harvested produce. Crop protection sits at the core of the business, and the group also develops seeds through Advanta, together with solutions for plant health and for reducing losses after harvest. Because the portfolio is so broad, UPL works with distributors and farms of very different sizes and across a wide variety of production systems.
The business model rests on covering successive stages of the crop cycle rather than a single input. Crop protection is complemented by biosolutions, seeds through Advanta, post-harvest technologies, and soil and water technologies. That breadth carries most weight in crops whose value depends not only on field yield but also on quality, shelf life and the losses that occur after harvest, where storage and handling decide how much of the crop reaches the market in good condition.
Size of the business
UPL reported consolidated revenue of INR 518.39 billion (INR 51,839 crore, where one crore equals 10 million) for fiscal 2025/26, the year ended 31 March 2026.
What does Post Harvest cover?
It covers technologies used after harvest, aimed at maintaining product quality and reducing losses further along the supply chain.
Are biosolutions and seeds the same category?
No. Seeds are planting material, while biosolutions are biological approaches that support crop production. UPL runs them as separate parts of its portfolio.
