Tata Chemicals today said it has temporarily shut down its fertiliser plant at Babrala in Uttar Pradesh for about 30 days due to regular maintenance work.
The plant has installed capacity of 8.64 lakh tonnes of urea per year, which constitutes nearly 12 per cent of the total urea produced by the country's private sector.
Operations at the fertiliser plant will be "temporarily shut down for the purpose of the planned, regular, major maintenance programme generally taken once in two years", the company said in a regulatory filing.
"The shutdown is starting from March 22, 2016 and will approximately last for 30 days," it added.
This will not have material financial impact on the Company. The stock exchanges will be informed once the plant operations resume after the scheduled maintenance, it added.
