GAIL and Chhattisgarh Government to Develop Gas-based Fertilizer Project

GAIL (India) Limited and the Government of Chhattisgarh have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop a greenfield gas-based fertilizer project in Chhattisgarh. The project involves setting up a urea manufacturing plant of 12.7 Lacs Metric Ton, strategically located along GAIL’s Mumbai—Nagpur—Jharsuguda Natural Gas Pipeline (MNJPL) corridor. The Government of Chhattisgarh will provide facilitation across all stages of the project, including support for feasibility studies, identification and allocation of suitable land parcels, coordination with State and Central authorities, facilitation for statutory approvals and enabling infrastructure necessary for project implementation. GAIL, a Maharatna Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, is India’s leading natural gas transmission and distribution company. The Government of Chhattisgarh is actively promoting industrial growth through investor-friendly policies, infrastructure development and ease of doing business initiatives.
