April 26, 2024 - Coromandel International has commenced the
project activity to set up its Phosphoric Acid-Sulphuric Acid complex
facility at Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. In an event organised on 26
April 2024, Company’s Executive Chairman, Mr. Arun Alagappan, was present
for the ceremony and Mr. S. Sankarasubramanian, Executive Director, Nutrient
Business signed the key contracts with global technology partners. With an
estimated outlay of Rs 1000 crores, the project is expected to be
commissioned in two years’ time. The proposed 650 tpd Phosphoric Acid
facility is designed with advanced DA-HF (dihydrate attack-hemihydrate
filtration) process technology and automated DCS system. This will enhance
Company’s backward integration capacities and provide stable supplies of
phosphoric acid for its fertilizer manufacturing by replacing more than 50%
of Kakinada plant’s imported acid requirement. The Company also plans to set
up an 1800 tpd sulphuric acid plant to meet the captive needs in phosphoric
acid manufacturing besides augmenting power from the waste heat generation.
Phosphoric acid and sulphuric acid are used as key intermediates for
manufacturing phosphatic fertilizers like DAP and NPKs. Currently,
company’s fertilizer plants at Visakhapatnam and Ennore are fully integrated
with captive sulphuric and phosphoric acid facilities and the proposed
expansion plan at Kakinada will make this unit also an integrated complex.
With a capacity of around 2 million t, Coromandel’s Kakinada plant is the
India’s second largest phosphatic fertilizer facility and contributes close
to 15% of nation’s NPK fertilizer output. The plant facility also acts as a
habitat for countless diverse species of birds, while greatly contributing
to biodiversity and conservation of the ecosystem. Commenting on the
occasion, Mr. Arun Alagappan, Executive Chairman, Coromandel International
Limited stated, “This investment signifies a pivotal moment in Coromandel’s
journey towards strengthening its self-sufficiency goals in fertiliser
manufacturing. Over the past few years, we have been building our upstream
supply chain with investments in mining project and creating intermediate
products’ capacity at Visakhapatnam for Phosphoric and Sulphuric acid. The
proposed Plant in Kakinada will be built on par with the best technology
standards globally and enable stable supplies of phosphatic fertilizers to
the farming community. This is in line with Government’s vision of “Atma
Nirbhar” Bharat in fertiliser sector besides creating employment
opportunities in the state of Andhra Pradesh.” The company is also
exploring investment support from the State and Central Governments, which
can improve the project viability and ensure supply security for key raw
materials used in fertilizer manufacturing. During the event,
Coromandel signed contracts with technology partners M/s Prayon, Belgium for
DA- HF process technology for phosphoric acid manufacturing and with M/s
MECS, USA for DCDA process technology for sulphuric acid manufacturing. The
Company also signed a contract with M/s thyssenkrupp UHDE for detailed
engineering of both phosphoric acid and sulphuric acid projects.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Thierry Marin, Vice President – Sales, MECS EMEA
& India said, “We will work in close partnership with Coromandel to provide
the world-class sulfuric acid technology and meet guaranteed performance and
emissions control for meeting stringent environmental standards and
production objectives.” Mr Rajesh Kamath, CEO & MD, thyssenkrupp UHDE
said, “We are grateful to Coromandel International for the trust they have
reposed in our capabilities once again. The integrated project is a new
benchmark for both organisations and presents an exciting challenge for us
at thyssenkrupp Uhde India.” January 31, 2024 - Agri inputs solution provider Coromandel International’s board approved setting up new phosphoric and sulphuric acid plants at its Kakinada fertiliser unit in Andhra Pradesh with an investment of ₹1,029 crore. The proposal follows 100% utilisation of the existing 1,550 tonnes per day (TPD) phosphoric acid and 4,200 TPD sulphuric acid capacities. The facilities proposed will add 750 TPD phosphoric acid capacity and 1,800 TPD of sulphuric acid within 24 months. The projects, to be funded through internal accruals/loans, will reduce dependence on imports and make Kakinada an integrated facility.“The investment is in line with our company’s long-term objectives to secure key raw materials for its fertiliser production,” the Murugappa group company said in a filing.On Tuesday’s board approval to expand backward integration capabilities, Coromandel International Executive Vice Chairman Arun Alagappan said the plants, to be established subject to receiving regulatory approvals, will further improve the company’s cost efficiencies, raw material security and can contribute to the government’s vision of Atma Nirbhar Bharat. Shares of the company closed flat on Wednesday at Rs.1,050.55 apiece on the BSE. |
