Panagarh: A High-Performance Engine for Eastern India’s Fertiliser Supply

Matix has rapidly emerged as one of India’s most efficient nitrogen fertiliser producers. It is powered by operational excellence and energy-focused productivity at its Panagarh facility. The plant plays a critical role in meeting rising fertiliser demand across Eastern India. In FY2025, Matix produced 1.47 million tonnes of urea, exceeding its 1.27 MTPA capacity and achieving 115 percent utilisation. This performance strengthens India’s domestic manufacturing capabilities and reduces dependence on volatile global gas markets. Today, the Panagarh plant supplies nearly 20 percent of Eastern India’s urea, supporting timely nutrient availability for farmers.

A Fast-Growing Player in India’s Fertiliser Landscape

Despite being one of India’s youngest fertiliser producers, Matix is among the fastest-growing. As per the press release, the company operates across nine states, serving farmers through over 1,000 dealers and 60,000 retailers. Its expanding portfolio spans urea, non-urea, and speciality fertilisers, positioning Matix as a trusted partner in India’s agricultural growth.
