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 in farms across the globe and to improve soil and human health.

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

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

Over the last two decades, we have focused on new discoveries of novel biorationals and developing new formulations for the efficient delivery of agrochemicals and biologicals to minimize environmental impact.

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

Backed by state-of-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 effciency fertilizers based on natural mineral origin, which provide balanced nutrients to crops and also increase yield. They also help retain soil organic matter and texture, address climate change, and improve the fnal quality of the produce.

Our crop protection solutions offer enhanced pest control, even at low dosages, resulting in lesser soil toxicity and residue. Our crop nutrition solutions can help improve nutrient uptake effciency and better proftability for farmers signifcantly.

For a Sustainable Future

With a growing global population and the goal of feeding 10 billion people by 2050, agriculture faces critical challenges. Excessive chemical fertilizer and pesticide use have degraded soil health, leaving 19 million tonnes of untapped organic micro-nutrients for farmers. Climate change is exacerbated by the release of nitrous oxide (N2O) from nitrogen fertilizers 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 fertilizer use. This reduces greenhouse gas(GHG)  emissions by 18-84% and enhances nutrient use efficiency (NUE), allowing farmers to maximize profits. SML’s solutions are crucial for sustainable agriculture, addressing environmental concerns and benefiting both 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.
