Mangalore Chemicals & Fertilizers has commenced production of urea from June 5, which it had stopped producing from May 7 due to non-availability of water. The water supply position is normalized, in view of pre-monsoon rain resulting in sufficient inflow in the Thumbe reservoir.
Mangalore Chemicals is the only manufacturer of chemical fertiliser in state of Karnataka. The Karnataka based company manufactures products such as urea, di-ammonium phosphate, muriate of potash, granulated fertilizers, micronutrients, soil conditioners and specialty fertilizers.
