India Fertilizer Industry
The Indian Fertilizer Industry is one of the allied sectors of the agricultural sphere. India
has emerged as the third largest producer of nitrogenous fertilizers. The adoption of back
to back Five Year plans has paved the way for self-sufficiency in the production of food
grains. In fact production has gone up to an extent that there is scope for the export of
food grains. This surplus has been facilitated by the use of chemical fertilizers.
The large scale use of chemical fertilizers has been instrumental in bringing about the
green revolution in India. The fertilizer industry in India began its journey way back in
1906. During this period the first Single Super Phosphate (SSP) factory was established in
Ranipet in Chennai. It had a capacity of producing 6000 MT annually. In the pre and
post-independence era a couple of large scale fertilizer units were established namely the
Fertilizer Corporation of India in Sindri, Bihar and the Fertilizer & Chemicals Travancore
of India Ltd in Cochin, Kerala.
The Indian government has devised policies conducive to the manufacture and
consumption of fertilizers. Numerous committees have been formed by the Indian
government to formulate and determine fertilizer policies. The dramatic development of
the fertilizer industry and the rise in its production capacity has largely been attributed to
the favorable policies. This has resulted in large scale investments in all three sectors viz.
public, private and co-operative.
At present there are 57 large scale fertilizer units. These manufacture an extensive range
of phosphatic, nitrogenous and complex fertilizers. 29 of these 57 units are engaged in the
manufacturing of urea, while 13 of them produce Calcium Ammonium Nitrate and
Ammonium Sulphate. The remaining 20 fertilizer plants manufacture complex fertilizers
and DAP. There are also a number of medium and small scale industries in operation,
about 72 of them. The following table elucidates the installed capacity of each sector.

The Department of Fertilizers is responsible for the planning, promotion and development
of the Fertilizer industry. It also takes into account the import and distribution of
fertilizers and also the financial aspect. There are four main divisions of the department.
These include Fertilizer Imports, Movement and Distribution, Finance and Accounts,
Fertilizers Projects and Planning and Administration and Vigilance. It makes an
assessment of the individual requirements of the states and union territories and then lays
out an elaborate supply plan.
Though the soil in India is rich in silt, it lacks chief plant nutrients like potassium,
nitrogen and phosphate. The increase in the production of fertilizers and its consumption
acts as a major contributor to overall agricultural development.

Chemical Industry Overview
Overview
Total US$30.59 Billion during 2005-2006 as per March 2007 report.
Contributes to 3% of GDP in the same report.
One of the fastest growing sectors of Indian economy.
Chemical Industry in India is fragmented and dispersed - multi product and multi-
faceted.
Chemicals sold directly to large customers and through distribution channels.
Distribution channels mostly consist of stockiests and dealers spread all over India
addressing small segments and retail market.
Major Segments
Chemical Industry is highly heterogeneous with following major sectors:
Petrochemicals
Inorganic Chemicals
Organic Chemicals
Fine and specialties
Bulk Drugs
Agrochemicals
Paints and Dyes
Chemical Industry Structure
Highly fragmented and widely dispersed.
Western India accounts for 45-50% of total Indian chemical Industry.
Large players in bulk chemicals. Both large and small players in Fine and
Specialty chemicals.
Presence of many multinational companies also.
Foreign Trade
HRIHE, HASSAN 4
India was a net importer of chemicals in early 1990s , but has now become a net exporter
due to reduction in Imports because of implementation of many large scale petrochemical
plants like Reliance etc. and also because of tremendous growth of exports in sectors like
bulk drugs and pharm, pesticides, dyes and intermediates.
HRIHE, HASSAN 5
Basic Chemicals Export did exceedingly well
HRIHE, HASSAN 6
Exports by the basic chemical sector in 1995-96 surpassed the target of Rs 6,742 crore by
reaching a figure of Rs 7,979.30 crore and showing a massive growth of 24% over the
preceding year's figure of Rs 6,403.90 crore. During 1994-95 exports totaled Rs 6,403.90
crore against the target of Rs 5,504.60 crore, while in the preceding year shipments
reached Rs 4,904.40 crore against the target of Rs 4,584.00 crore.
The drugs and pharmaceuticals and the organic/inorganic/agro-chemicals contributed as
much as 63% of total exports. This has been a herculean task, which has been achieved by
competing with big multinational corporations of the world. Turnover for the year ended
1998-99 is close to Rs.15,000 crores
India is predominantly an agrarian economy. The Indian economy mainly depends upon
its agricultural produce. The agricultural output contributes to about 25% of the country's
GDP. As a result of the chemical fertilizers being one of the related parts of the
agriculture, there is tremendous scope for the growth of the chemical fertilizer industry.
Today, the Indian chemical fertilizer industry is developing fast in terms of using the
latest world-class technology. Indian manufacturers of chemical fertilizers are now
adopting some of the most advanced manufacturing processes to prepare innovative new
products to supplement the Indian agriculture. India is also ranked as the third-largest
exporter and producer of nitrogenous fertilizer.
In the present day scenario, there are more than 57 large-sized and 64 medium- and small-
sized chemical fertilizer production units in India. The main objective of these chemical
fertilizer industries is to make sure that there is a proper supply of primary and secondary
fertilizers to the Indian crops in adequate quantities. Some of the prominent products
manufactured by the Indian fertilizer industry are nitrogenous fertilizers, phosphate-based
fertilizers, calcium ammonium nitrate, urea, ammonium sulfate, and other complex
fertilizers.
The chemical fertilizers industry in India has performed a significant role in enabling the
increased supply of essential nutrients to plants. It has also helped India achieve the
objective of being self-sufficient in the production of food grains and has accelerated the
growth of agriculture
HRIHE, HASSAN 7
The chemical fertilizer industry is one of the most energy-intensive sectors, and it is very
vital from the viewpoint of environmental discussions. Today, there is a great need to
increase the productivity of chemical fertilizers through implementation of pollution-free
and environment-friendly technologies. This will be helpful in achieving economic,
social, and environmental development objectives.
The chemical fertilizer industry of India gained momentum after India adopted the
liberalization and globalization policy in 1991. The government aimed to reduce subsidies
and attract new investments by decontrolling all the phosphatic and potassic fertilizers.
The Department of Fertilizers is the nodal organization that is responsible for the
planning, development, and promotion of the chemical fertilizer industry in India. This
department also monitors the production, distribution, and imports of fertilizers. Besides,
it is also responsible for management and provides financial assistance to the investors
who are investing in the sector.
The Indian Chemical Fertilizer industry promises a great future for investments. India's
demand for fertilizers is set to increase its supply manifold in the near future. Thus, there
are great investment opportunities for foreign investors to invest in the Indian chemical
fertilizers industry, optimize the fertilizer production through the use of modern
technology, and gain valuable returns. The government of India has made ambitious plans
to set several chemical fertilizer projects in place. These plans aim to increase the
production of fertilizers; thus, there are a lot of opportunities for new investors to enter
into a joint venture with government undertakings and earn good returns on investments.
Great potential lies ahead for foreign investors looking to invest in the chemical fertilizers
industry in India if they invest in the state of Gujrat as the state is foreseen to be a leading
state in the production of fertilizers

OrganicProducts
The productivity of Indian soils has drastically come down. This has necessitated
increasing the productivity per unit area per unit time. This is becoming difficult as the
soil health has deteriorated alarmingly. One of the main reasons of this is the ever
reducing soil organic matter content. Improving the soil organic carbon content by
application of suitable organic matter and manures is the only option. For realising the
benefit of application of organic matter, the product should be well decomposed and of
good quality. Moreover, if the product can offer more benefits to the farmer than a mere
organic manurial value, it is then the farmer realised more value for money. Considering
this, MCF Limited has offered high quality organic products.

Effluent Treatment and Disposal
With the aim of ensuring minimum disturbance to the ecology, all
possible precautions have been taken to avoid pollution.
Effluent treatment and disposal systems in a number of chemical plants in India
and abroad have been studied and a suitable system has
designed and built in consultation with specialists in effluent treatment and allied
engineering activities.
HRIHE, HASSAN 44
The Karnataka State Pollution Control Board has accorded formal
approval after studying the effluent treatment system installed.
There is zero liquid effluent discharge.
Suitable modifications have also been made in the Urea plant to substantially
bring down the noise and air pollution levels during plant start-ups and upsets
Environment Management at MCF Environment,
Health & Safety are given top priority in MCF. A
green belt covering an area of about 50 acres area
is developed and maintained. MCF has been
certified for environmental management system
conforming to ISO 14001 : 2004 standard and
HRIHE, HASSAN 45
occupational health and safety management
system conforming to OSHAS 18001 : 2007
standard by Det Norske Veritas, The Netherlands.
MCF has given top priority to its effluent
treatment and disposal system right from the
design stage of its plants.
At MCF the ammonium bi-carbonate, di-
ammonium phosphate and sulphonated
naphthalene formaldehyde plants are designed to
have zero effluent discharge. In di-ammonium
phosphate (DAP) plant a part of ammonia and
urea bearing effluent from urea/ammonia plant is
used as process condensate.
MCF has installed and commissioned urea hydrolyser stripper (UHS) at the cost of Rs.8.5
crores in 1990 and to treat ammonia and urea bearing effluents from ammonia and urea
plants. The recovered ammonia and water are reused.
MCF has achieved the aim of reusing the entire treated wastewater and the target of zero
wastewater discharge during 2010 by investing about Rs.7.0 crores. This is achieved by
upgrading the effluent treatment system by the installation of lamella clarifier, ultra
filtration and Reverse Osmosis (RO) technologies for the treatment of trade effluent and
by upgrading the sewage treatment plant by “Membrane Bio-Reactor" (MBR)
technology.
HRIHE, HASSAN 46
By the installation of urea hydrolyser stripper and wastewater treatment plants with latest
technologies, about 3000 kilolitres per day of water is recovered which is about 30 % of
our daily raw water consumption..

MCKENSY’S 7-S MODEL
HRIHE, HASSAN 51
Strategy:
The networking model must define its strategy in terms of resource generation, funding
sources, designing an information service mix for target beneficiaries. The sustainability
issue is very important in such models, as to how revenues will be generated and how the
ICT model is to be linked with agricultural marketing institutions in order to facilitate
agricultural marketing. The product-service mix and communication strategy to farmers is
HRIHE, HASSAN 52
also very important for awareness about the information on marketing and commodity
prices. Without a well-planned strategy, the business model will not be able to achieve its
objectives. The integration of the model with revenue streams such as providing e-
governance, social networking, education, health and a virtual market delivering goods
can help in drawing revenues.
Structure:
The structure of the consortium needs to be designed in such a way that it facilitates
speedy decision-making. A networked structure having minimum hierarchies and
involving people from all stakeholder organizations with clear cut roles is needed for
implementation including those under PPP (Public Private Participation). The more the
layers, the less will be the benefits delivered to beneficiaries.
Systems:
They comprises of the procedures and policies of the organizations which define how
things should be done to achieve the objectives. The systems allow flexibility in terms of
resources and approaches as different geographical areas may need different approaches.
The systems of collecting information and updating the same and methods of content
delivery are to be defined. The delivery of SMART (specific, measurable, accurate,
relevant and timely) information is possible only through SMART systems.
Style:
Beliefs and actions of managers determine the outcome of implemented strategy. A
participative style of management suitable for the need of rural areas is adopted. The local
communities such as farmers and intermediaries must be involved in the awareness
HRIHE, HASSAN 53
programmes and selection. The success of these schemes depends upon how the
managers are able to work .The management apply the bottoms up approach for
encouraging and motivating employees working in this area.
Staff:
People are involved at every step in such type of information system. The people
involved are data collectors, official’s incharge of updating data, kiosk operators, who
deliver the information and the people who install and maintain the kiosks. Most of the
models are making use of the local entrepreneurs, who are selected among the local folk.
The selection of these entrepreneurs plays an important role. If a person involving the
local community, having good educational qualification, mental aptitude, enjoying good
relationship in the village is selected, he is able to deliver better benefits to the farmers.
Skills:
Enabling skills imply that the company ensures that employees know how to do their
jobs and stay abreast with innovation in tasks, technology and techniques. Skills imply
distinctive capabilities of people and organization which differentiate themselves from
others.
The skill sets of the persons involved in collecting, updating and delivering information
needs to be updated from time to time. The staff must be fully equipped to deliver the
services to farmers. Unless fully trained, they will not be able to deliver the information.
Capacity building of the staff is one area which is to be looked into.
Shared values:
HRIHE, HASSAN 54
Shared values ensure that all concerned share the same guiding values. For every ICT
project, we must define the mission, vision, goals and objectives which will be shared
among the employees of partnering institutions. These values must pertain to economic,
social benefits.
