The two new plants are part of the Indian government’s revival plans for the fertilizer sector to ensure Indian self-sufficiency in urea fertilizers. In 2015, the Danish contractor was awarded the ammonia technology license, basic engineering, technology, and catalysts for an ammonia plant for the Ramagundam Fertilizer Project. This 2,200 MTPD ammonia plant is also a revival project scheduled to begin operation in the fourth quarter of 2018. Worldwide, Topsoe is the leading licensor of ammonia process technology with a market share of close to 50 % of all new ammonia capacity contracted since 1990.
