Govt invites fresh proposals for new urea plants

The Fertilizer Ministry has invited fresh proposals for setting up urea plants as well as increasing the capacity of existing ones under the recently notified New Urea Investment Policy for increasing domestic production.

In February, the Cabinet had approved amendments in the policy after 13 players, including IFFL, RCF and Tata Chemicals, proposed new urea plants entailing capacity addition of 16 million tonne.
