India is intensifying efforts to address its long-standing challenges in manufacturing technical-grade urea (TGU), essential for diesel exhaust fluid (Adblue) used in diesel vehicles. Currently, India has a production capacity of 1.5 lakh tonnes of urea annually, while the automotive sector's demand reaches 6 lakh tonnes, with the shortfall being met through imports from the Gulf region. However, ongoing disruptions due to the conflict in West Asia have prompted the Indian government to consider bolstering domestic production. Gujarat State Fertilizers and Chemicals (GSFC) is being eyed as a potential contributor to TGU production. The company has developed a capacity of 35 metric tonnes per day for TGU, but this is only available during specific downtime in its melamine production. The government aims to reduce import dependence and ensure a stable supply for the automotive sector while maintaining adequate urea availability for agriculture, which employs about 40-50% of India's workforce. The balancing act of meeting industrial demand without compromising agricultural needs remains a key focus amid rising urea consumption and dependency.
