Prime Minister Narendra Modi performed Bhoomi Pujan for the Assam Valley Fertiliser and Chemical Company Ltd's Ammonia-Urea Project in Namrup on Sunday, calling it a "big day" for Assam and the North-East, heralding a "new chapter" in industrial progress.
BRS Working President K T Rama Rao (KTR) has stated that the "Urea App" is a clear sign of the Congress government's incompetence and accused the ruling party of acting with a vendetta against rural areas.
India and Jordan have set a target to double their bilateral trade to USD 5 billion over the next five years, while strengthening cooperation in key sectors, including fertilisers, especially phosphates, the Ministry of External Affairs said while adressing the special briefing on Prime Min
Indian Railways plays an important role in supporting India's agricultural economy. It ensures smooth and timely movement of fertilisers across the country. This year, fertiliser loading reached 17,168 rakes till 30 November.
The report highlights that fertilisers are expected to account for about 51% of India's hydrogen demand by 2030, followed by refining at 38% and petrochemicals at 11%. New demand from sectors such as steel, long-haul transport, shipping and power generation is likely to emerge beyond 2030 as

India is close to finalising the long-pending fixed cost framework for urea manufacturers, a move expected to bring clarity to the fertiliser sector after years of industry demands, Rajat Kumar Mishra, Secretary in the Department of Fertilisers, said on Wednesday.

Industry players noted that while demand has risen due to a favourable monsoon and expanded acreage, both government measures and long-term supply arrangements have helped stabilise the situation.
"Whenever innovation happens, it is subject to severe criticism. Nano urea is no exception," he said. "But forward-looking research and field results will establish it as a powerful alternative for Indian agriculture."
