Further, an exclusive policy for the revival of the Talcher unit of FCIL through JVC of nominated PSUs namely Talcher Fertilizers Limited (TFL) by setting up a new Greenfield urea plant of 12.7 LMTPA at coal gasification route has also been approved. In addition, the Government also notified the New Urea Policy (NUP) - 2015 on 25th May, 2015 for the existing 25 gas-based urea units with one of the objectives of maximizing indigenous urea production. These steps together have facilitated an increase of Urea production from a level of 225 LMT per annum during 2014-15 to a record Urea Production at 314.09 LMT during 2023-24.

Based on the requests, the new manufacturing units or increase in manufacturing capacity of existing units have been recognized / taken on record under the NBS subsidy scheme, with a view to boost manufacturing and make country self-reliant in fertilizer production. Further, to promote Potash derived from Molasses (PDM) which is 100% indigenously manufactured fertilizer, it has been notified under Nutrient based subsidy (NBS) regime w.e.f 13.10.2021. Also, freight Subsidy on SSP, which is an indigenously manufactured fertilizer, has been made applicable since Kharif 2022 to help in promotion of SSP usage for providing Phosphatic or “P” nutrient to the soil. These steps have facilitated increase in production of P&K fertilizers from 159.54 LMT in 2014-15 to 182.85 LMT in 2023-24.
