The National Fertilizers Limited (NFL), a Government of India undertaking, under administrative control of Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, has continued urea production at its plants in Punjab, and also supplied fertilizers to farmers even during the ongoing “rail roko” stir in state.
A release issued by the company said it produces around 10 lakh MT urea (5200 MT) per day at its Bathinda and Nangal plants in Punjab.
It said NFL’s production operations were initially impacted due to non-supply of coal, which is used for steam generation in plants during the production of urea. Both the plants require around 2,000 MT of coal everyday but its supply remained suspended.
