The ministry of environment and forests has cleared Tata Chemicals' expansion project at its Babrala fertiliser plant in Budaun district of Uttar Pradesh. The company, a leading manufacturer of chemicals, fertilisers and food additives, is setting up a customised 20-tph NPK plant on 0.8035 hectares within its existing urea complex. The estimated cost of this project is Rs 54.78 crore.
Earlier this month, Tata Chemicals commissioned the de-bottlenecking of the Babrala facility and dedicated it to Tata group founder, Jamshetji Tata on the occasion of Founders' Day.
The project, which was completed in a record 18 months with an investment of Rs 208 crore, is aimed at fine tuning and enhancing production capacity from 8,64,600 tpa to 11,55,000 tpa. Post-de-bottlenecking, the production of ammonia will go up from 1,520 tpd to 2,000 tpd and that of urea from 2,620 tpd to 3,500 tpd.
Tata Chemicals commissioned its fertiliser division at Babrala in Badaun district of Uttar Pradesh in December 1994. The complex manufactures nearly 12 per cent of the total urea produced by the country's private sector, as well as ammonia. The company claims that the Babrala plant is considered to be one of the "best industrial facilities" in India and the "most energy efficient" among all Topsoe plants globally. It is also the only fertiliser complex in the country to use a dual feedstock facility: natural gas or naphtha, or a combination of both
