Prime Minister Narendra Modi on
Saturday said the revival of the Talcher fertiliser plant in Odisha will
create huge job opportunities while making the country self-sufficient
in fertiliser production.
The Talcher plant will start production in 36 months with an investment of Rs 13,000 crore, said Modi.
Launching
the revival work for the country's first coal gasification-based
fertiliser plant, Modi said: "Around 4,500 people will be employed in
the region."
It would also reduce India's dependency on importing gas and urea, he added.
"Odisha
had lost hope of the fertiliser plant but we did it despite several
hurdles. We vowed that with new energy and new speed, we will take the
country to a new height," Modi said in Talcher as he addressed the
public.
The plant is being developed by Talcher Fertilisers
Limited (TFL), a joint venture of GAIL (India) Limited, Coal India
Limited (CIL), Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers Limited (RCFL) and
Fertilizer Corporation of India Limited (FCIL).
The project would
have an output of 1.27 Million Metric Tonnes Per Annum (MMTPA) of
'Neem' coated prilled urea using coal and petcoke as feedstock.
The
plant, targeted to be commissioned by 2022, will ensure easy
availability of urea in Odisha as currently there is no urea plant in
the state.
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, also present on the
occasion, thanked the Prime Minister and assured him of all support from
the state government.
