OVERVIEW OF SECTOR
4. FERTILIZERS
A nutrients which is essential or to increasing growth of plant called as
“Fertilizers”
Nitrogenous fertilizers
Phosphorous fertilizers
Potash fertilizers
Bio-Fertilizers
5. Size of the Industry
57 large fertilizers plants and 65medium- and small-sized chemical fertilizer production
units in India producing urea, DAP, Complex fertilizer, Ammonium Sulphate (AS) and
Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN)
Geographical distribution Cochin, Chennai, Kerala
Output per annum 121.10 lakh MT a year
Percentage in world market It ranks third in the world of Fertilizer production
Market capitalization 25% to the GDP
INDIAN FERTILIZER INDUSTRY
6. Scope
• India is the third largest producer and consumer of fertilizer in the world.
• Indian fertilizer industry started in 1906 with SSP production facility at Ranipet near
Chennai.
• The private sector produced 44.73 % of nitrogenous fertilizers and 62.08 % of phosphatic
fertilizers in 2012-13.
• Total production of fertilizers in india-121.10 lakh MT a year.
• In the case of phosphatic fertilizers, the raw materials and intermediates are imported in
large scale.
• The requirement of potash (K) is met entirely through imports. No fertilizer unit of India has
any reserve of potash.

15. Major Challenges
• Gap between demand and supply
• Greater dependency of country on imports( also feedstock)
• Unable reduce burden of government in subsidiary rates
• Infrastructural bottlenecks
• Uncertainties in government policies
• Small size of older plants
16. Conclusion
•In India, the deficit N will progressively increase from 2007-08 to 2010-11.It
expected to reduce significantly during 2012-13 and 2013-14.
•The deficit of P & K will continue to increase.
• global supply demand balance of N will increase until 2007-08. The global,
surplus of N is expected to increase from 2012-13 due to commissioning of new
project.
•Supply demand balance of P & K may remain tight.
•Realistic demand and production forecast is essential for macro planning and
decision making.
•Over estimation leads to glut and under estimation causes scarcity.
