SAIL to from JV with National Fertilisers

08 Aug 2011 Evaluate

State-run SAIL plans to form a joint venture with National Fertilisers (NFL) for its proposed Rs 4,450 crore-urea manufacturing plant at Sindri, Jharkhand, in which the steelmaker will retain the majority stake. NFL is the likely partner for SAIL's fertiliser plant and nothing concrete has been decided yet. Depending on the outcome of the detailed project report (DPR) the shareholding pattern of the proposed venture will be worked out on a later date.

SAIL received the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs’ nod for its plan for setting up plants for manufacturing of steel and fertiliser, and generation of power at the closed Sindri facility of erstwhile Fertiliser Corporation of India. The company plans to invest around Rs 35,000 crore to set up 5.6 mtpa steel making plant, 1.15 mtpa fertiliser plant and a power plant of suitable capacity.

After dismantling and disposing of the existing urea facility at the site the proposed gas-based urea plant would be set up and company was scouting for a suitable partner for the fertiliser project.
