The $p$-length of a finite $p$-soluble group is an important invariant parameter. The well-known Hall–Higman $p$-length theorem states that the $p$-length of a $p$-soluble group is bounded above by the nilpotent class of its Sylow $p$-subgroups. In this paper, we improve this result by giving a better estimation on the $p$-length of a $p$-soluble group in terms of other invariant parameters of its Sylow $p$-subgroups.
