UPL Limited has announced a board meeting for consideration of the financial results for the quarter and half-year. The company completed the transfer of its Specialty Chemicals business to wholly-owned subsidiary Superform Chemistries Limited, establishing it as a pure-play platform. A significant private equity infusion was made into Advanta Enterprises Limited, a key global seed company, with Alpha Wave Ventures acquiring a 12.44% stake for around ₹3,041 crores combined primary and secondary investment. UPL’s consolidated revenue grew 8% to ₹46,637 crores, with EBITDA up 47% to ₹8,124 crores and a positive PAT of ₹820 crores, reversing prior year losses. The company improved working capital days from 86 to 53, reduced net debt by over $1 billion, and delivered strong segment performances across Crop Protection, Seeds, and Specialty Chemistries. A final dividend of ₹6 per share is recommended. UPL continues to lead in sustainability with significant reductions in emissions and water use, robust R&D investments, and progress in digital transformation and operational excellence. The company maintains a diverse global presence across 140+ countries and 43 manufacturing facilities, focusing on innovation-driven, farmer-centric agri-solutions to support global food security. Governance remains strong with a well-diversified independent board and compliance to all regulatory requirements.
