Modi to inaugurate fertiliser plant in Telangana on Saturday

NEW DELHI: In yet another step to boost urea production and reduce dependence on import of chemical fertilisers to meet domestic requirement, PM Narendra Modi will inaugurate a fertiliser plant at Ramagundam in Telangana on Saturday.
Recently, the production at two major urea plants at Sindri in Jharkhand and Barauni in Bihar resumed after decades. “ In 2016, the cabinet had approved the revival of three plants at Barauni, Sindri and Gorakhpur,” said an official.
The government notified the New Urea Policy 2015 for existing 25 gas-based urea units with the aim of maximising indigenous urea production; promoting energy efficiency in urea production; and rationalising subsidy burden on government.
