The Sindri plant will produce 3850 tonnes of urea and 2250 metric tons of ammonia daily. The plant has a target of producing 11.75 lakh metric tons annually.
Since Fertilizer Corporation India (FCI) Sindri shut down in December 2002 during the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led central government, Prime Minister Modi had made the HURL Sindri unit his ambitious project to compensate for the loss of 2002.
