Coromandel International inaugurated a nano fertilizer plant at its Kakinada complex in Andhra Pradesh. The facility marks Coromandel’s entry into advanced fertilizers, which hold the promise of transforming Indian agriculture.
The plant is capable of producing two million metric tons of NPK grades annually, meeting the needs of farmers nationwide. Equipped with a fully automated production line and robotic arms for bottling, the nano fertilizer unit can produce up to ten million bottles of nano fertilizers per year, with the potential for scalability to increase production and diversify the product range.
Developed by Coromandel’s in-house R&D team at the IIT Bombay-Monash Research Academy, nano fertilizers like nano DAP and nano urea offer a promising alternative to traditional fertilizers, potentially boosting crop yields.
The products are marketed under the gromor nano DAP and gromor nano urea brands. Additionally, Coromandel has established a nano technology center in Coimbatore dedicated to enhancing nano applications in agriculture and maintaining product quality.
As reported by Projects Today, the eco-friendly fertilizers produced at the Kakinada facility have been rigorously tested in farmer field trials across India, ensuring their efficacy and readiness to meet nationwide agricultural demands.
