The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given its approval for the proposal of the Department of Fertilizers for extension of applicability of New Investment Policy (NIP)-2012 incentives for the upcoming Ramagundam Fertilizers and Chemicals Limited (RFCL) plant in TS on Wednesday.

Gas to RFCL plant is supplied by GAIL through the MBBVPL (Mallavaram-Bhopal-Bhilwara-Vijaipur Gas Pipeline) of GSPL India Transco Limited (GITL). The state-of-the-art gas based plant is part of the initiative taken by the government to revive the closed urea units of FCIL/Hindustan Fertilizers Corporation Limited (HFCL) to achieve self- sufficiency in urea sector, said an official release.More Related News
