We expanded our marketing presence across

130+ countries in 6 continents
supported by 33 manufacturing units in 11 countries

This 'glocal' approach has de-risked us from being excessively
dependent on growth coming from a single country.

Efficient Logistics

UPL strengthened its reach through a hub-and-spoke distribution model, which allowed us to manufacture most of our bulk chemicals in India and formulate specific products in plants located closer to markets in diverse countries. A robust network of distributors allowed us to seamlessly distribute products and circumvent logistic bottlenecks. This facilitated customer proximity and allowed an attractive cost arbitrage leverage.

Integrated Approach

We integrated operations in a manner that key products like Phosphorus and Chloralkali, among others, served as raw materials for the synthesis of other products. A deep integration helped us achieve qualitative consistency and cost-competitiveness. Over the past five decades, we created a strong presence across our sectoral value chain – R&D, registration, manufacturing, packaging and marketing. The result is that we have emerged as one of the most holistic generic agrochemical companies in the world.

Message from Chairman

Dear Shareholders,

The year 2017-18 was one of the most challenging that the industry has seen in years. A number of countries experienced erratic weather that impacted farm output, commodity realisations declined, farmers held back sowing in regions following enhanced water-stress, geopolitical challenges affected sales and currency devaluation dented earnings. Each of these factors would have been potent enough to erode earnings; that these transpired concurrently affected revenues of crop protection chemical companies worldwide. It is in this context that the performance of UPL Limited must be appraised. The company reported 7% revenue growth, 9% EBIDTA growth and 17% net profit growth on a consolidated basis.


We planned better. We delved deeper. We worked harder. In short, we did things better.
