IFFCO Paradeep plant produced 805,000 Tonnes of P2O5 (Phosphoric Acid), achieving in the process the distinction of being the lone plant to achieve this quantum of production in the world by any single Phosphoric Acid plant.
It’s a moment of pride for everyone. Phosphate (P2O5) is a major nutrient for crops and very much essential for greater farm yield, read an IFFCO press release. Later IFFCO MD Dr U S Awasthi tweeted “Glad to share that today #IFFCO Paradeep Plant has achieved highest ever production in the world by any single plant producing 805,000 Tonnes of P2O5 (Phosphoric Acid). Moment of pride for everyone. Congratulations!”
It bears recalling that India has very low reserves of phosphates and we need to import a majority from other countries in the form of rock phosphate (raw material), phosphoric acid (intermediate product) and complex fertilizers (finished products).
A world largest single reactor plant with daily production capacity of 2650 Tonnes per day production of P2O5 is operated by IFFCO at its Paradeep Unit. The IFFCO Paradeep Plant has achieved a rare feat of highest ever annual production in the world, claimed IFFCO release.
This has helped in production of higher indigenous phosphate-based fertilizers i.e. DAP / NPS etc. and reduced dependency on imported complex fertilizers.
IFFCO release read that it is in line with the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister of India to make our country ‘Atma NIrbhar’, this is a major milestone achieved in the direction of making India Self-reliant.
This has not only resulted in ensuring availability of quality & made in India fertilizer to our great farmers, but also resulted in saving precious forex outgo, claimed the release.
