Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated IFFCO’s World’s First Nano Urea Liquid Plant in Kalol, Gujarat, in an effort to provide farmers with tools to increase productivity and income.
At a ceremony in Gandhinagar, the Prime Minister dedicated the ultramodern Nano Urea Liquid Fertilizer plant to the nation. Among those present were Amit Shah, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, and Union Ministers of Health and Family Welfare, Chemicals and Fertilizers Mansukh Mandaviya.
U S Awasthi, MD, IFFCO, explained how the plant works and its various technologies using a walkthrough video that was shown live during the launch. The use of IFFCO Nano Urea was demonstrated to the farmers present in a film, which was inspired by the Prime Minister’s vision of reducing urea use in the soil. He stated that drones will be the vehicle for the Nano Urea revolution, as they will introduce modern farming techniques and practices.
IFFCO has established new manufacturing facilities in Aonla, Phulpur, Kalol (Expansion), Bengaluru and Paradeep, Kandla, Deoghar, and Guwahati to produce Nano Fertilisers.
All of these units will have a design capacity of 2 lakh bottles per day, with a total investment of Rs 3,000 crore, of which Rs 720 crore has already been committed, and will employ thousands of people.
Dileep Sanghani, Chairman of IFFCO, stated that Nano Urea Liquid was created in accordance with the Prime Minister’s vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat and Sahkar se Samriddhi, with the goal of increasing farmer income. The Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Ltd (IFFCO) introduced the world’s first IFFCO Nano Urea (Liquid) earlier this year, which is included in the Fertiliser Control Order (FCO, 1985).
