More LNG supply for urea plants to boost production: Government
NEW DELHI: Govt has announced to increase gas supply to urea plants to approximately 90% of their average consumption from Monday, a move that will push productivity to ensure enough availability of the most-used soil nutrient during the upcoming Kharif, and subsequent, Rabi crop season.
Currently, the supply of LNG to urea plants is around 70-75% of their last six-month’s average consumption. Govt on Saturday said supply will be increased “considering the available inventory and scheduled LNG cargo arrivals”. It added that gas supply to other industrial and commercial sectors, including supplies through city gas distribution (CGD) networks, will be enhanced by a further 10%, effective Monday.
