About us

SML Limited (formerly known as Sulphur Mills Limited) is a global leader in innovative advanced solutions for agriculture. Our expertise spans varied aspects of nutrients, soil health, crop protection, and biologicals. We aim to serve and improve the agricultural sector through technological innovation. Our end objective is to ensure that balanced, nutritious food is produced on farms across the globe and to improve soil and human health.

Mr. Deepak Shah, Founder & Chairman of SML Group, established the organisation in 1971. Since then, SML Limited has expanded to over 80 countries worldwide. We are a research-driven organisation developing and promoting advanced, high-performance, and end-to-end sustainable solutions for crop nutrition, crop protection, biostimulants, and biofertilisers.

SML Limited has dedicated the last 50 years towards sustainable agriculture and farmer welfare.

Over the last two decades, we have focused on discovering novel biorationals and developing new formulations to deliver agrochemicals and biologicals to minimise environmental impact efficiently.

We are proud to have the world’s largest manufacturing capacity of highly effective dose and safe Water Dispersible Granule (WDG) of 100000 MT and over 6 million litres of SC and EW formulations.

Backed by state-of-the-art research and development facilities, we manufacture innovative formulations of major active ingredients of insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and nutrients. We are a pioneer in developing patented formulations to provide complete crop protection solutions and build natural immunity in crops. We have developed high nutrient-use efficiency fertilisers based on natural mineral origin, giving crops balanced nutrients and increasing yield. They also help retain soil organic matter and texture, address climate change, and improve the final quality of the produce.

Our crop protection solutions offer enhanced pest control, even at low dosages, reducing soil toxicity and residue. Our crop nutrition solutions can improve nutrient uptake efficiency and farmers’ profitability.

For a Sustainable Future

Agriculture faces critical challenges with a growing global population and the goal of feeding 10 billion people by 2050. Excessive chemical fertiliser and pesticide use have degraded soil health, leaving 19 million tonnes of untapped organic micro-nutrients for farmers. Climate change is exacerbated by releasing nitrous oxide (N2O) from nitrogen fertilisers like urea, with a global warming potential 300 times higher than carbon dioxide. SML is dedicated to improving soil quality, promoting soil health, and reducing synthetic fertiliser use. This reduces greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions by 18-84% and enhances nutrient use efficiency (NUE), allowing farmers to maximise profits. SML’s solutions are crucial for sustainable agriculture, addressing environmental concerns and benefiting farmers and consumers.

SML excels in soil health and offers high-performance crop protection formulations. These innovations reduce the needed dosage of protection agents per acre, saving farmers on input costs while maintaining or enhancing effectiveness. SML is committed to environmental responsibility and farmer education. Initiatives like Crop Protection Stewardship Week educate farmers on safer and more responsible pesticide use, reinforcing our dedication to sustainable and environmentally conscious agriculture.

CSR Activities

Notebook Distribution

Notebooks are a place to collect and record all your thoughts and learnings, hence forming an integral part of one’s learning and education. SML Limited distributed notebooks to schools nationwide as a part of CSR activity. This large-scale distribution was done during the financial year 2018-2019.

Mask Distribution

As the threat of the coronavirus spreads throughout the globe, masks have become mandatory measures to suppress the transmission of the deadly virus and protect the lives of those around. In such dire circumstances, masks became one of the most sought-after commodities, leading to their shortage in various parts of India. In that circumstance, SML Limited distributed masks across multiple states in India. This distribution occurred during the year 2020-2021.

Sports Complex Development

Sports are an important part of the wholesome growth of an individual. It teaches values like – leadership, teamwork, discipline, etc. Sports is not just a recreational activity but a way to maintain mental and physical health. SML Limited helped develop the Sports complex at GMK, inaugurated on 15^th October 2021.
