NEW DELHI, APR 7, 2021: THE Chemicals and Fertilisers Ministry on Tuesday handed over a cheque of Rs. 813.24 crore as interest-free loan to State-owned Hindustan Urvarak and Rasayan Ltd (HURL) for the revival of its Gorakhpur, Sindriand Barauni projects

Minister for Chemicals and Fertilisers Mr DV Sadananda Gowda said the loan will further strengthen HURL's financial condition during COVID-19 and assist it to complete its project in time.

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) had approved the revival of Gorakhpur and Sindri units of Fertiliser Corporation of India Ltd (FCIL) and the Barauni unit of Hindustan Fertiliser Corporation Ltd (HFCL) in 2016.

The operationalisation of the plants will reduce the import dependency on urea by 38.1 lakh tonne per annum and save foreign exchange, said the minister. The capacity of each plant would be 12.7 lakh tonne per annum.

HURL was incorporated as a Joint Venture (JV) of State-owned National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), Coal India Limited (CIL) and FICL to revive the plants by end of 2021

The Centre approved a grant of interest-free loan to the tune of Rs. 1257.82 crore to HURL –Rs. 422.28 crore for Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh), Rs. 415.77 crore for Sindri (Jharkhand) and Rs. 419.77 crore for the Barauni (Bihar) project.

The Gorakhpur plant is nearing 89 per cent completion, Barauni is at 85.1 per cent and Sindri at 86.1 per cent as on February 28, 2021.
