Gaurav Mathur the current Managing Director of Chambal Fertilisers & Chemicals Limited, New Delhi on December 2, 2021, during the FAI ‘s Annual seminar 2021 spoke about the Challenges and Way Forward for the Urea Industry in India.
During his speech, he gave the audience a very clear cut perspective of the Current Indian Urea Industry
And spoke vehemently on how in the past 15 years due to the low production of the indigenous Urea, a large amount of Urea had to be imported from other countries, he was also of the opinion that although inflation was on the rise Govt subsidies on Urea were actually lagging behind.
Mr Mathur also spoke on how due to the subsidised rate of Urea the balance of NPK in the soils was skewed due to the imbalance in the application of Urea. His suggestions on Initiating and refining direct benefit transfer 2.0 were also mirrored by his fellow panellist Mr S. Sankarasubramanian in his presentation on Challenges and Remedies for P&K Fertilizer Industry, he also demanded on simplification of urea policy and a revision of the fixed cost of Urea.
