Highest ever domestic production of Urea in 2015-16
Department
of Fertilizers is mandated to provide all subsidized chemical fertilizers to
the States/UTs as per requirement projected by the Department of Agriculture,
Cooperation & Farmers Welfare (DAC&FW) in consultation with States. In
order to meet the gap between domestic demand and indigenous production, urea
is imported. In the year 2015-16, domestic production of urea was the highest
ever. Import is going to reduce gradually as production of urea increases.
The
details of annual requirement/demand, production and import of major
fertilizers during the last three years are given below:-
