- Phosphoric Acid production started at Trombay Unit.

- Enhanced the production of NPK Fertilizer (15:15:15 grade) at Trombay unit.

- Enhanced production of Ammonium Nitrate (AN) melts from its existing plant from 1.5 LMT to 1.9 LMT per annum by optimal utilisation of existing infrastructure.

- To meet the growing need of the domestic coal mining industry for power generation, commenced project work of setting up a new Ammonium Nitrate (AN) melt plant at an investment of Rs 187 Crore.

- With in-house R&D, developed specialized fertilizers such as Bio Fertilizer with innovative environment friendly water-soluble packaging (GEOLA), Organic Growth Stimulant (OGS), Ph Balancer, suspension fertilizer VIPULA (NPK 10:10:10 Grade), Phosphate Rich Organic Manure (PROM - SHEETALA) and Multi Micronutrient Mixture Fertilizer (SHUBHADA).
