 "Tata Chemicals to re-route ammonia supply pipeline at Haldia")
Tata Chemicals Ltd (TCL) has signed an MoU with Sanjana Cryogenics Storage Ltd (SCSL), its ammonia terminal operator, for rerouting a portion of the ammonia pipeline that runs from the Haldia Dock to the ammonia storage tank. “This has been done at the directive of Kolkata Port Trust for facilitating the set up a multi-modal terminal hub at Haldia by Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI),” said TCL in a BSE filing today.
This pipeline re-routing activity is likely to cause a shutdown of operations by about 5 weeks in September-October 2016 due to interruption of ammonia supply to TCL’s Haldia phosphatic fertiliser plant.
Tata Chemicals Ltd operates a fertiliser plant at Haldia which uses ammonia as one of the feedstocks to manufacture diammonium phosphate (DAP), single superphosphate (SSP) and complex NPK fertilisers. TCL’s Haldia plant, with capacity of over 1.2 million tonne per annum (MTPA), is the sole manufacturing unit for DAP/NPK complexes in West Bengal.
