ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CHEMICALS & FERTILIZERS
(SMT. ANUPRIYA PATEL)
(a) The overall requirement/demand of fertilizers viz. Urea, DAP, MOP and NPKS
, availability and sales of these fertilizers across the country, including the State of
Uttar Pradesh, during the last five years i.e. 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24 and
2024-25 is placed at Annexure-A.
(b) The details regarding State-wise total domestic production of Urea, DAP and
other fertilizers in the major fertilizer manufacturing units during the last five years is
placed at Annexure-B.
(c) Following measure are taken by the Government every season for ensuring
timely and adequate supply of fertilizers across the States:
i. Before the commencement of each cropping season, Department of Agriculture and
Farmers Welfare (DA&FW), in consultation with all the State Governments, assesses
the State-wise & month-wise requirement of fertilizers.
ii. On the basis of requirement projected by DA&FW, D/o Fertilizers allocates adequate
quantities of fertilizers to States by issuing monthly supply plan and continuously
monitors the availability.-2-
iii. The movement of all major subsidized fertilizers is monitored throughout the country
by an on-line web based monitoring system called integrated Fertilizer Management
System (iFMS).
iv. Regular Weekly Video Conference is conducted jointly by DA&FW and D/o
Fertilizers with State Agriculture Officials and corrective actions are taken to dispatch
fertilizers as indicated by the State Governments.
v. The distribution of fertilizers within the State is done by the respective State
Government.
Further, the Government has implemented Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) Scheme
w.e.f. 01.04.2010 for Phosphatic and Potassic (P&K) Fertilizers. Under the Scheme,
P&K fertilizers are covered under Open General License (OGL) and companies are
free to import/manufacture these fertilizers as per their business dynamics.
To increase domestic fertilizer production and make country self-reliant the following
measures have been taken by the Government:
(i) D/o Fertilizers has issued guidelines 18.01.2024 to ensure reasonableness of MRP
and encourage domestic production.
(ii) Based on the requests, the new manufacturing units or increase in manufacturing
capacity of existing units have been recognized / taken on record under the NBS
Scheme.
(iii) The number of P&K fertilizers covered under NBS policy has increased from 22
grades in 2021 to 28 grades.
(iv) Freight Subsidy on SSP, which is an indigenously manufactured fertilizer, has
been approved since Kharif, 2022 to promote SSP usage for providing Phosphatic or
'P' nutrient to the soil.
(v) To reduce import dependence on imported Potassic fertilizers, Potash Derived from
Molasses (PDM), which is a domestically produced Potassic fertilizer, has been
inducted under NBS scheme since Rabi, 2021.
Above steps together have facilitated increase in production P&K fertilizers from
159.54 LMT in 2014-15 to 211.22 LMT in 2024-25.
With regard to Urea, the Government had announced New Investment Policy (NIP) –
2012 on 2nd January, 2013 and its amendment on 7thOctober, 2014 to facilitate fresh
investment in the urea sector and to make India self-sufficient in the urea sector. Total
6 new urea units have been set up under NIP-2012 which includes 4 urea units set up
through Joint Venture Companies (JVC) of nominated PSUs and 2 urea units set up by
the private companies. The units set up through JVC are Ramagundam urea unit of
Ramagundam Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd (RFCL) in Telangana and 3 urea units
namely Gorakhpur, Sindri and Barauni of Hindustan Urvarak & Rasayan Limited (HURL)
in Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar, respectively. The units set up by private
companies are Panagarh urea unit of Matix Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd. (Matix) in
West Bengal; and Gadepan-III urea unit of Chambal Fertilizers and-3-
Chemicals Ltd. (CFCL) in Rajasthan. Each of these units has installed capacity of 12.7
Lakh Metric Tonne per annum (LMTPA). These units are highly energy efficient as they
are based on latest technology. Therefore, these units have together added urea
production capacity of 76.2 LMTPA, thereby total indigenous urea production capacity
(Reassessed Capacity, RAC) has increased from 207.54 LMTPA during 2014-15 to
283.74 LMTPA during 2023-24. . Further, an exclusive policy for the revival of Talcher
unit of FCIL through JVC of nominated PSUs namely Talcher Fertilizers Limited (TFL)
by setting up a new Greenfield Urea plant of 12.7 LMTPA at coal gasification route has
also been approved. Recently, the Union Cabinet has approved the proposal for setting
up of a new Brownfield Ammonia-Urea Complex of 12.7 Lakh Metric Tonnes (LMT)
annual capacity of Urea production within the existing premises of Brahmaputra Valley
Fertilizer Corporation Limited (BVFCL), Namrup, Assam namely Assam Valley Fertilizer
and Chemical Company Ltd. (AVFCCL).
In addition, the Government also notified the New Urea Policy (NUP) – 2015 on
25thMay, 2015 for the existing 25 gas-based urea units with one of the objectives of
maximizing indigenous urea production beyond RAC. The NUP-2015 has led to
additional production of urea by 20-25 LMT as compared to the production during 2014-
15 annually.
Above steps together have facilitated increase of Urea production from level of 225
LMT per annum during 2014-15 to a record Urea production of 314.07 LMT during
2023-24. During 2024-25 306.67 LMT of Urea was produced in the country.
