Production of fertilizer nutrients showed mixed growth during May 2019 over May 2018.Production of N at 1.090 million metric tonnes(MMT)declined by 3.6% during the period.However,production of P2O5 at 0.404 MMT increased significantly by 11.2% during May 2019 over May 2018.Fall in N production was mainly due to decline in production of urea and NPKs.Production of urea and NPKs fell by 5.2% and 14.1%,respectively during May 2019 over May 2018.Robust increase in production of DAP(52.5%)and moderate increase in SSP(9.5%),boosted overall P2O5 production during the period.Capacity utilisation of N declined from 99.0% during May 2018 to 91.3% during May 2019.However,in case of P2O5,it increased from 61.4% to 68.2% during the period.Production of N and P2O5 fell short from the target by 123.9 thousand tonnes and 53.8 thousand tonnes,respectively,during May 2019.
