2. • The fertilizer in India consists of three major
players: The Government owned Public Sector
undertakings, Cooperative Societies like IFFCO,
KRIBHCO and units from Private sector.
• The fertilizer industry has organized itself through
Fertilizer Association India (FAI) to coordinate with
the Government of India to achieve the macro-
economic objectives related to agricultural sector
and to provide other services.
3. Indian Farmers Fertilizer Co-operative
Limited(IFFCO) was registered on November
3,1967 as a multi-unit co-operative society.
IFFCO society is engaged in production and
distribution of fertilizers.
IFFCO PHULPUR is a ammonia-urea plant in
state of Uttar Pradesh established in 1981.
Today IFFCO is making substantial
contribution to increase food grain
production.
5. IFFCO is the largest producer of fertilisers in
the country.
A total of 24.49 lakh MT imported urea and
14.71 lakh MT imported DAP were handled by
marketing division from various ports directly.
Fertilizers marketed through 39877
cooperative societies and 158 farmers service
centers.
Only fertiliser institution in the country to
produce 85.83 lakh MT of fertilisers and
125.88 lakh MT of sales during 2014-15. This
is highest sales in India as well as the whole
world by a single fertiliser major.
7. Mission of IFFCO is to establish Indian Farmers
to prosper through supply of reliable, timely, high
quality agricultural inputs and services in an
environmentally sustainable manner and

8. 1. Two Power plants.
2. Two Furnaces & Two Chimneys.
3. Water Treatment System & Brick making unit.
4. Packaging & Transportation Division.
9. Natural gas is taken from GAIL through pipe
lines and stored in gas reservoirs.
Natural gas is dissociated at high temperature
& pressure into a furnace.
Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Carbon dioxide gases
are obtained after dissociation.
Hydrogen & nitrogen is send to ammonia plant
while Carbon dioxide is stored separately.
3H2 + N2 = 2NH3
10. Ammonia and carbon di oxide is reacted into
mixing plant where urea in vapour form is
obtained.
2NH3 + CO2 = NH2CONH2 + WATER
This urea vapour is condensed by natural
convection in a chimney of hieght 104 mitres.
At the base of chimney small spherical urea is
obtained which is further sent to packaging
unit by means of conveyer belt.
14. The operations are repeated daily in the plant.
The process are done in a standardized form.
The labours pocess the fertilizers, load them
in the wagon and then they are sent.
15. STEAM GENERATION PLANT:- Steam is
generated at a pressure of 10.5 kg/sq.cm
gauge and is in saturated condition. Three
boilers are available of type three pass, smoke
tube package boilers.
POWER:- Electricity is purchased from Gujarat
electricity board(GEB) through a double circuit
66 KV line from GEB Anjar. In addition to this
facility, they have one emergency power DG
set of 800 KVA capacity.
16. Attaining an annual turnover of Rs.15000
crore by 2010 which increased to Rs.30000
crore by 2015.
Backward integration to meet feedstock
requirement such as Phosphoric Acid etc.
Generation of power
Exploration of Hydrocarbons
Value addition to Agro-products and
marketing
IT enabled services and financial services
