New Delhi, June 27: The Government of India convened a high-level Pre-Expression of Interest (Pre-EOI) meeting to advance plans for setting up green urea production plants, marking a significant step toward strengthening sustainable fertilizer manufacturing in the country.
The meeting focused on preparing the framework for inviting participation from industry stakeholders, technology providers, and investors for the development of green urea facilities. Officials discussed key aspects including technology selection, investment models, project structuring, and timelines for implementation.
The initiative aims to reduce dependence on conventional fossil-fuel-based fertilizer production by promoting environmentally sustainable alternatives. Green urea, produced using cleaner energy sources such as green hydrogen, is expected to play a crucial role in lowering carbon emissions from the agriculture and fertilizer sectors.
Government representatives emphasized that the proposed plants will support India’s broader clean energy and agricultural sustainability goals while ensuring long-term fertilizer security for farmers. The initiative is also expected to encourage private sector participation and foster innovation in green chemical manufacturing.
The Pre-EOI meeting marks the preparatory phase of the project, which will be followed by formal expressions of interest from eligible bidders in the coming stages. The government reiterated its commitment to building a robust ecosystem for green fertilizers as part of India’s transition toward a low-carbon economy.
