The Ramagundam project comprises 2,200 MTPD ammonia and 3,850 MTPD urea plants. The new plant is part of the Indian government’s revival plan for the domestic fertilizer sector to ensure self-sufficiency in urea fertilizers. Three out of the four current fertilizer plant revival projects are based on Topsoe’s world-leading ammonia technology, including Ramagundam.

The Indian fertilizer sector consists mainly of publicly owned companies, and foreign direct investment in the sector is not customary. However, Topsoe is now a member of the group of owners of the Ramagun-dam plant because of the important role of Topsoe’s ammonia technologies and catalysts in the plant. Topsoe and its Danish partners will have a seat in the Board of Directors of the Ramagundam plant and will take an active role to secure long-term success.
