Hyderabad, July 19 (PTI) The Union Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilisers will soon come out with an action plan to revive eight closed fertiliser manufacturing units across the country, Satish Chandra, Joint Secretary of the ministry, said here today. "We will ask some of the PSUs to take over. If it does not work, we will look at various options, including the public-private-partnership model, to revive those units," Satish Chandra told mediapersons on the sidelines of a national seminar on India 2020-Chemical Fertiliser Sector ''Government Policies, Challenges and Growth Strategies''. He said that the shortage of urea in the country would be met to some extent if the units were revived. The eight closed fertiliser plants belong to the Fertiliser Corporation of India (FCI) and Hindustan Fertiliser Corporation (HFCL). The units are located at Gorakhpur, Sindhri, Durgapur, Barauni, Haldia, Talcher, Ramagundam and Korba. He said that each plant has urea-producing capacity of 1.15 million tonnes annually. Elaborating on the conditions for setting up customised fertiliser plants, he said that at least 10,000 soil tests have to be completed in order to set up a single such unit. (MORE) PTI GDK.
