Sonowal Reviews Namrup Fertilizer Plant; Rs 10,000 Cr Ammonia–Urea Complex to Boost Assam’s Industrial Growth
Sonowal said the Namrup Fertiliser Plant is receiving a new lease of life under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with a new brownfield Ammonia–Urea complex being developed at an investment of over Rs 10,000 crore. He added that the project will boost agricultural productivity, generate large-scale employment and strengthen industrial infrastructure, positioning the Northeast as a major productive hub in Southeast Asia.
The Union Minister added, “Brahmaputra Valley Fertilizer Corporation Limited (BVFCL), the oldest fertilizer unit in Northeast India, has been serving farmers of the region since its inception. To further increase its capacity, a fourth plant is set to be established at the Namrup site. Supported by the Government of India, the new plant is expected to be completed in the next five years, with a production capacity of 12.5 lakh metric tonnes per annum.”
He further noted that the expansion will transform the facility into a major production hub, fulfilling fertilizer needs of farmers across the Northeast, while also enabling exports to neighboring countries such as Bhutan and Myanmar. Additional markets in West Bengal and Bihar will also be served through this enhanced capacity.
Shri Sonowal expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister and the Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers, stating that the project fulfills a long-standing aspiration of the people of the Northeast and will contribute significantly to national development.
