Efforts on to revive Ramagundam fertiliser unit
The Union government is working on reviving five fertiliser plants, having a production capacity of 65 lakh metric tonnes, that will turn India from being an importer to an exporter in the field of urea and fertilisers, the Rajya Sabha was informed on Friday.
New Delhi: The Union government is working on reviving five fertiliser plants, having a production capacity of 65 lakh metric tonnes, that will turn India from being an importer to an exporter in the field of urea and fertilisers, the Rajya Sabha was informed on Friday.
During the Question Hour, Minister of Chemicals, Fertlisers and Parliamentary Affairs Ananth Kumar said the government was working to revive the fertiliser plants at Sindri, Talcher, Barauni, Ramagundam and Gorakhpur. The five plants imply an additional capacity of 65 lakh metric tonnes of urea, he said and added that the country's requirement was 310 lakh metric tonnes and the current shortage of 55 lakh metric tonnes was being imported.
"In a couple of years instead of being an importing country, India will be an exporting country in the field of urea and fertilisers," Kumar said. He said the fertiliser plant at Sindri is likely to be commissioned by September 2020, while the one at Ramagundam could be commissioned by the end of this year.
