1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Fertilizer production
The Indian fertilizer industry in the past 50 years has grown in size and stature and
presently ranks third in the world. In the planned economic development of the country,
self sufficiency in food grain production was considered as the prime priority. Increase in
fertilizer use along with irrigation facilities, use of improved seed and adoption of better
agronomic practices paved the way for increasing crop productivity and production.
Fertilizer use in India increased from 66 thousand tons of major plant nutrients in 1951-
52 to 22.7 million tons in 2003-04. Fertilizer contributes 40-50% increase in food grain
production and they have vital role to play in any strategy to meet the challenges of rising
demand of food, fiber, forage and fuel.
Fertilizer consumption of plant nutrients per unit of grossed cropped area in India is still
very low average being 91.5 kg/ha. Productivity of food grain crops in the country is also
quite low, around 1.6 t/ha, which can certainly be doubled by enhancing per unit average
fertilizer use. Fertilizer consumption has to increase substantially in order to achieve the
food grain requirement of 220 million tons by the year 2002.
The Group also considered the details of estimates made by various agencies like
Fertilizer Association of India (FAI), National Informatic Centre (NIC) and Department
of Agriculture and Cooperation (DAC), Government of India and concluded that in the
terminal year of Ninth Plan there is likely to be a surplus of N supplies to the extent of
0.63 million tons. However, it may be worthwhile to note that some of the projects have
not materialised and finally N supplies might also show a deficit. There would be a short
fall in phosphate to the extent of 1.34 million tons. The entire demand of 1.83 million
tons of potassic fertilisers would be met from imports.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE
2.1.1 Urea
Currently, the urea capacity is about 20.2 m.t. while consumption is about 21.7 m.t. The
demand is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4 percent and by next few demand would
grow to around 23 m.t. while the estimated production would be about 21 m.t. The top six
producers of urea in India are
Urea, the most widely used fertilizer, is under government control, as urea manufacturers
are reimbursed on a cost plus basis under the RETENTION PRICE SCHEME. The farm
gate price of urea is fixed at INR 4,600 per tonne w.e.f February 29th, 2000, excluding
local levies, which is amongst the lowest in the world and is heavily subsidized.

CHAMBAL FERTILIZERS Delhi Business School New Delhi
The production of urea involves the production of ammonia, which is then converted to
urea. Ammonia can be synthesized using any of the following feedstock: natural gas
(NG), naphtha, low sulphur heavy stock (LSHS), fuel oil and coal. The urea segment of
the industry is likely to be affected by significant changes in Government policy in the
medium term. These changes can be broadly categorised into two types—those that affect
profitability by modifying the current rules of competition and the more fundamental
ones that replace the existing rules themselves.

Till Oct 2004
Y ear the purchase
price of
imported urea
would jump between 150 and 250 percent. However in the medium term the international
price of urea is expected to remain depressed and the removal of quantitative restrictions
(QRs) can hurt the industry.. A logical outcome of this demand could be the concurrent
removal of pricing and distribution controls. The fertilizer ministry has already decided to
decontrol urea completely in three phases by FY07. The transition period will be used to
gradually reduce subsidy by increasing the selling price at regular intervals thus making
the cost competitiveness of domestic urea units critical.
11
CHAMBAL FERTILIZERS Delhi Business School New Delhi
The other nitrogenous fertilizers — CAN, ammonium sulphate (AS) and ammonium
chloride (AC) — were decontrolled in 1991. They were brought back under the
RETENTION PRICE SCHEME in 1992 but decontrolled again in 1994. As there are no
subsidies on these fertilizers, the profitability of their manufacturers has been hit by the
recent increases in feedstock prices. The total installed capacity of CAN in the country is
942,500 tonnes per annum (tpa). The major CAN producers in the country are NFL, Steel
Authority of India Ltd. (SAIL) and Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers Company Ltd.
The total installed capacity of AS is 864,500 tpa. AS contains about 21 percent nitrogen
and 24 percent sulphur. It has traditionally been popular in some parts of the country. The
principal raw materials for its manufacture are ammonia, sulphuric acid and gypsum. The
major manufacturers of AS are Fertilizer Corporation of India (FCI), Hindustan Fertilizer
Corporation Ltd. (HFCL) and Gujarat State Chemicals and Fertilizers (GSFC). AC is
used as a fertilizer for rice and some other crops. It is manufactured in India by Tuticorin
Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers, and Punjab National Fertilizers and Chemicals (PNFC).
The top five producers of DAP in the country are Paradeep Phosphates, IFFCO, GSFC,
SPIC and Godavari Fertilizers. Together with the domestic production of 4 m.t. and an
opening stock of 0.9 m.t., the total availability of DAP in the country in FY04 was 8.2
m.t. with highest ever DAP imports of 3.3 m.t. in the country. The estimated sales of
DAP in FY04 was 6.4 m.t. Thus, there was an excess supply of around 1.8 m.t. The DAP
capacity of the country is expected to increase by 2.80 mtpa by the end of FY06 and the
demand for DAP is estimated to grow by 10 to 12 percent. The subsidy is INR 4,450 per
tonne on indigenous DAP and INR 1050 per tonne on imported DAP. With the selling
price for DAP fixed at INR 8,700 per tonne, total realization for DAP manufacturers is at
INR 13,100 per tonne. DAP is manufactured using phosphoric acid (PA) and ammonia.
PA is either imported or manufactured. The manufacture of PA requires rock phosphate
(RP) and sulphuric acid. Thus DAP units are either PA based or RP based. Also units can
either produce ammonia in-house or purchase imported ammonia. In India, 69 percent of
DAP capacity is based on PA, and 80 percent of this PA requirement is met through
12
CHAMBAL FERTILIZERS Delhi Business School New Delhi
imports. The balance 31 percent of DAP capacity meets its requirements of RP and
sulphur largely through imports. Since phosphatic fertilizers are not subsidised on a cost
plus basis, escalations in raw material prices have a major impact on the profitability of
the manufacturers. The subsidy on phosphatic fertilizers is set on the basis of the
prevailing international prices of ammonia and PA. Earlier, the subsidy calculation was
ad hoc and subsidised only the P component. Under the new subsidy structure, both the N
and the P component are subsidised. The subsidy on DAP is ascribed to both the nitrogen
and phosphate content. With the new policy, it makes sense for DAP manufacturers to
import ammonia, given the low prevailing international price. Since the subsidy is linked
to international prices of ammonia, units using indigenous ammonia have suffered, as
they do not get compensated for the increase in the costs of production. DAP is imported
by India in significant quantities. The concession on indigenous DAP is higher than that
on imported DAP, which keeps the Indian industry competitive. The differential
concession acts as a kind of import duty. In the past the differentials were about INR
1000 and INR 1500 a tonne. In the first two quarters this year, they were INR 3400 a
tonne and INR 2350 a tonne respectively. However, even this differential cannot prevent
DAP imports from being relatively more profitable when the international prices fall
sharply. Since DAP imports are decanalised and with the international price of DAP in
FY00 falling by USD 50 per tonne in two months led to a glut of imports and an ensuing
price war in the domestic market on account of large imports competing with local
supplies.
The total installed capacity of SSP in the country is 6.48 m.t. per annum. Unlike urea and
DAP, the concentration of major players in SSP is low, with the top five players
contributing to barely30 percent of the total production. At present, about 79 medium and
small scale units are engaged. The major raw materials for SSP are RP and sulphur. The
current level of subsidy on SSP is INR 700 per tonne.

However, within a span of three weeks the Government revised the extent of the price hike to
30% w.e.f. 14th August, 1991 and exempted the small and marginal farmers from it completely.
With effect from 25th August, 1992 the Government decontrolled all phosphatic and potassic
fertilizers and abolished the RETENTION PRICE SCHEME covering the former, brought back
ammonium sulphate, CAN and ammonium chloride within the purview of the control and subsidy
and reduced the selling price of urea by 10 per cent while retaining this under control of the
RETENTION PRICE SCHEME. These policy changes were expected to achieve
15
CHAMBAL FERTILIZERS Delhi Business School New Delhi
capacity in such a way that about one million tons of nitrogen could be met from
imports.With the decontrol of phosphatic and potassic fertilizers in 1992, import of DAP
and MOP has been freed. Import of raw materials like rock phosphate, phosphoric acid,
sulphur and ammonia has been also decanalised since then.
In August, 1992 phosphatic and potasssic fertilizers were decontrolled and their
distribution is- over taken by the manufacturer or importers. Government is, however,
keeping a close watch and any imbalance is brought to the notice of the industry. Urea
continues to be under control and its distribution is governed by ECA allocation.

To ensure that supply of good quality fertilizers to the farmers, strict check is exercised
over the quality of fertilizers in the State, under fertilizer Control Order, 1985. All the
Agricultural Development Officers (B.Sc.Agri.)/Agricultural Officers, Chief Agricultural
Officers. Joint Director of Agriculture (Admn. Wing) have been declared Fertilizer
Inspectors under FCO 1985 to check stocks of fertilizers and draw samples in their
respective jurisdiction large number of fertilizers samples are taken every year from the
stocks of fertilizers dealers, especially of those fertilizers which are more prone to
adulteration i.e. DAP, SSP Complex fertilizers, Zinc-Sulphate and Ferrous Sulphate etc.
Quality control campaigns are also organized in the State during peak consumption
period of Kharif and Rabi seasons. There are two Fertilizer Quality Control Laboratories
situated at Ludhiana and Faridkot with analyzing capacity 2000 and 1500 samples per
annum respectively. The legal as well as administrative action is being taken against the
defaulters whose samples are declared Non-Standard

4. POLICY INITIATIVES
4.1 Pricing policy
The fertilizer policy is aimed at increasing consumption to meet the food and fiber
requirement of growing population through setting up required production capacities,
ensuring that quality fertilizers are made available to the farmers throughout the country
at uniform and affordable price. It was also recognized that fertilizer use should be
profitable to the farmers for which he must get a certain minimum return for the produce.
This led to the announcement of procurement prices and minimum support prices for
several crops from 1970 onwards. The Marathe Committee was assigned the task of
resolving the issue of keeping Farm Gate Prices (FGP) of fertilizers at an affordable level
in the face of rising production/import costs. Its recommendations in 1977 led to the birth
of the Retention Price Scheme (RPS). This scheme was intended to ensure that both the
fertilizer producers as well as the farmers should find it worthwhile to produce and use
fertilizers. The policy aimed that each manufacturer is able to get 12% post-tax return on
investment on efficient operation regardless of the location, age, technology and cost of
production. In addition, the government agreed to reimburse the cost of transportation
from factory gate to railhead and also take care of the distribution margin. The
RETENTION PRICE SCHEME is now restricted to urea only.
2. Lowering railway freight on phosphatic fertilizers (except SSP) from September, 2002
which amounted to 35% reduction in rail transport.

Lack of availability of natural gas in the country has prompted investors to collaborate for
joint ventures abroad. Gulf countries, due to abundant availability of gas, nearness to
Indian shores and investment friendly environment, are becoming the first choice for
joint ventures. In the phosphate sector also, increase in domestic capacity has to be
supplemented by supplies from joint ventures abroad. It is heartening to note that apart
from the operating plants for phosphoric acid in Senegal and Jordan, some more such
joint venture projects and expansions are being contemplated by the Indian companies. 5.
SINCE late 1970s, both China and India have emerged as dominant forces in the world fertiliser
market. Between 1978-79 and 1984-85, they together accounted for 50 to 55 per cent of growth
in the world consumption and imports of fertilisers, and nearly one-third of growth in the world
fertiliser production. India and China have been major importers of urea. But the imports of urea
to the two countries have fluctuated considerably from year to year. In recent years, the two
countries together have accounted for more than one-third of the world imports of urea.
Fluctuations in the imports have largely been due to varying rainfall in the two countries, as both
the countries still largely depend on the rains for the irrigation. Political factors, like statal fixing of
the prices of various fertilisers, have also contributed to skews in demand of urea in the two
countries. While the issue of food security to meet the food requirements for the growing
population has dictated the need to increase crop production in both the countries, emotions
rather than the objective decision-making in the two countries have influenced many decisions.
The long-term goal of self-sufficiency in supply through development of domestic industry has not
received sufficient attention. Fertiliser import policy has been governed, more often than not, by
short-term and ad hoc considerations such as clearing inventories, savings in foreign exchange,
and such other institutional and infrastructural constraints. This has had influence on fertiliser
production in both the countries. Recently China has embarked upon a strategy of achieving self-
sufficiency in fertiliser production to attain food security, and replace some of its old plants of
complex fertilisers with large-sized plants of urea. This means that China would vacate a large
demand of import of urea from the international market. A portent to this has been in evidence as
the volume of fertiliser imports by China during the last two years went down considerably. It is
relevant in this context, therefore, to examine issues which have implications for a new orientation
of fertiliser policy in India.
World capacity for the production of urea in 1995 was 102 million mts. This capacity is expected
to rise to half a billion mts by the year 2010. But the world capacity has never been fully utilised
mainly due to reasons of market. Technical reasons have also been responsible for this. In fact
historically, the capacity utilisation of the world urea industry has been at an average of 87 per
cent. In fact, in the past the domestic consumption has been only up to three-quarters of the
world production. The domestic consumption of the world production in 1996 was 74 per cent,
leaving a significant 26 per cent for international trade. The oil crisis of 1970s and 1980s saw a
substantial growth in export-oriented urea capacity at low cost locations. This new capacity was
largely built in the Arab Gulf, the former Soviet Union (FSU), central Europe, Indonesia, Malaysia,
and Caribbean Gulf. All these locations have vast reserves of natural gas at low cost.
20
CHAMBAL FERTILIZERS Delhi Business School New Delhi
trend in the urea import demand continued even in 1997 and 1998. The fall in demand during this
year is likely to be around by 10 per cent. This fall in import demand is largely due to lower
imports by India and China.
The prospect for total fertiliser demand in India and China in the coming years depends on many
factors which are not only economic and political but also climatic, given the rain dependency of
the bulk of the agriculture.
The Government also felt the need for review of the existing system of subsidisation of
urea under the Retention Price Scheme (RPS) existing since the year 1977. For this
purpose and with a view to suggest an alternative broad based scientific and transparent
methodology, the Government of India constituted in January 1997 a High Powered
Fertilizer Pricing Policy Review Committee under the Chairmanship of Prof. C.H.
Hanumantha Rao, former Member of the Planning Commission. The Committee
submitted its report on 3rd April, 1998. The Committee has recommended the
discontinuance of the unit wise Retention Price Subsidy Scheme, which is presently
applicable to the urea units and has suggested an alternative uniform Normative Referral
Price based on the economic principle of Long Range Marginal Cost for the industry as a
whole. The Committee has also recommended that in the interest of sectoral
cohesiveness, phosphatic and low analysis nitrogenous fertilizers may also be brought
within the ambit of this scheme. According to the Committee, this methodology would
ensure enhanced efficiency in the production of fertilizers without affecting most of the
existing units and would also encourage creation of new capacities. The
recommendations of the Committee are towards phased deregulation and for progressive
market oriented system.
(a) Government to fix maximum Farm Gate Price (FGP) based on its perception of urea
prices considered 'affordable' by farmers. Fertilizer units will be allowed to fix retail
prices subject to ceiling of FARM GATE PRICES.
(b) Subsidy levels would be determined with reference to Normative Referral Price
(NRP) which will be determined on the economic principle of Long Range Marginal Cost
21
CHAMBAL FERTILIZERS Delhi Business School New Delhi
(LRMC). Difference between NRP and FARM GATE PRICES would be given as
subsidy to the industry.
(c) Feedstock Differential Cost Reimbursement (FDCR) for use of naphtha and fuel oil
be given for a transition period of 5 years only over and above the NRP which would
relate to gas based plants only.
Note: Figures for NRP and FDCR as on January, 98 have been indicated by the
Committee to be as follows:
Per ton
NRP Urea
(e) Ending the present practice of allocating stocks to the states and monitoring their
distribution under the Essential Commodities Act. However, additional freight and
inventory cost to be reimbursed in respect of fertilizers distributed in remote and
inaccessible places.
(g) Initiatives to set up Joint Ventures abroad near source of abundant availability of
feedstock be encouraged as a matter of policy in the coming years due to the gas
shortages in India and growing demand of fertilizers.
(h) Setting of a 'Fertilizer Policy Planning Board' to prepare policy options for the
Government in order to provide a long term perspective for the industry. The Department
of Fertilizers has initiated an intensive process of inter-Ministerial consultation and
dialogue with the industry for assessing the impact of the recommendations of this
Committee. The new fertilizer policy, which would seek to harmonies the interest of food
security with growth and efficiency up gradation in the industry, would be formulated in
light of this consultation exercise.
