UPL's step-down subsidiary Advanta Holdings BV agreed to buy Hytech Egypt USA, the holding company that controls Misr Hytech Seed International, for 110 million dollars in cash.
The deal gives UPL a leading position in the Middle East and Africa corn seed market. It is signed and not closed: completion is expected on or before 31 January 2027, once COMESA and Egypt's competition authority clear it.

UPL reported Q1 consolidated net profit of 10 crore rupees against a loss of 88 crore a year earlier, and guided to FY27 revenue growth of 7 to 11 percent.
EBITDA growth guidance is 10 to 14 percent, so the company is pointing at margin expanding faster than the top line. The swing back to profit is thin in absolute terms, which makes the guidance the more informative half. Agrochemical destocking has been the drag for two years, and a company only guides to margin leverage once channel inventory has cleared.
