Development and Growth of Fertilizer Industry

摘要

The production of fertilizers during 2012-13 was 121.94 lakh MT of Nitrogen and 35.41 lakh MT of Phosphates. The production for 2013-14 is 123.78 Lakh MT of Nitrogen and 37.14 Lakh MT of Phosphate, representing a growth rate of 1.5% in Nitrogen and 4.9% in Phosphate. Production for nitrogenous fertilizer is less than the installed capacity for the year 2013-14. The production for phosphatic fertilizer is less than installed capacity in the year 2013-14, due to the constraints in availability of raw materials/ intermediates which are substantially imported. However, taken together, the production of 'N' and 'P' during the year 2013-14 has been more than to the corresponding period of last year.
