UPL Ltd has introduced SUPERFORM, a next-generation specialty chemicals company, previously known as UPL Specialty Chemicals Limited. Now operating as an independent business under UPL, SUPERFORM is focused on delivering advanced chemical solutions across key industries including agriculture, lubricants, mining, flame retardants, healthcare, and food and beverages.

India’s specialty chemistry sector is poised for significant expansion, with the overall chemicals market projected to reach $850–$1,000 billion by 2040. The specialty segment alone could contribute 10–12% of the global market, driven by rising domestic demand, evolving global supply dynamics, and the need for sustainable alternatives to conventional manufacturing models. India’s market share is expected to triple, with projected growth of 7–10% annually from 2027 to 2040.

SUPERFORM is positioned to play a central role in this growth. With expertise in complex chemical processes and a strong foundation in manufacturing, the company delivers tailored, high-impact solutions. Its capabilities include a wide portfolio of reaction technologies and custom synthesis offerings, aligned with the increasing global emphasis on green chemistry and sustainable innovation.

Led by CEO Raj Tiwari and supported by over 3,500 professionals, SUPERFORM aims to drive positive change in the specialty chemicals landscape, aligned with UPL’s broader vision for technology-driven growth. UPL Ltd. (NSE: UPL, BSE: 512070, LSE GDR: UPLL) is a leading global provider of sustainable agricultural products and solutions, supporting the entire agrifood value chain. With a presence in over 140 countries and annual revenues surpassing $5 billion, UPL ranks among the world’s largest and most influential agriculture companies.

The company operates through four focused business platforms: UPL Corporation Ltd (UPL Corp), UPL Sustainable Agri Solutions Ltd. (UPL SAS), Advanta Enterprises Ltd, and Superform Chemistries Ltd. (formerly UPL Speciality Chemicals Ltd.). Each platform plays a strategic role in delivering value-driven, science-backed solutions for growers across the globe. Together, these entities reflect UPL’s mission of “Reimagining Sustainability”—driving innovation, resilience, and sustainable growth in agriculture while addressing global food security and environmental challenges.
