Coromandel International Limited has unveiled a nano fertilizer plant at its Kakinada complex in Andhra Pradesh. The plant was inaugurated by Mr. Sankarasubramanian S, Executive Director, Nutrient Business, in the presence of the company’s senior leadership team and key channel partners from across the country.
Coromandel’s Kakinada unit produces a wide range of NPK grades with an annual capacity of 2 million t of fertilizers and caters to the needs of the farming community across India. With the commissioning of the new nano facility at its Kakinada complex, Coromandel has forayed into new generation fertilizers, which have the potential to transform Indian agriculture.
The new nano fertilizer plant is designed using energy-efficient technologies and has fully automated production line including robotic arm for bottling operations. It has capacity to produce 10 million bottles of nano fertilizers per year and can be scaled up for higher volumes besides producing multiple range of nano fertilizers.
Coromandel has developed nano fertilizers like nano DAP and nano urea through its in-house research and development centre at IIT Bombay-Monash Research Academy. The nano-sized fertilizer particles ensure optimal nutrient delivery and absorption by the plants and have the potential to replace the conventional fertilizer while also increasing the crop yield. The company markets Nano fertilisers under the brand name of ‘Gromor Nano DAP’ and ‘Gromor Nano Urea’. This fertilizer has received a positive response from across geographies and various crop segments, and with this encouraging response from the farming community, the company has set up a comprehensive nano fertilizer facility at Kakinada to cater to the demands across the country.
Coromandel International has also set up a nano technology centre at Coimbatore to focus on nano application in agriculture and to establish quality for the nano range of products.
