The signing of an MoU for a new fertilizer project indicates a positive step towards expansion and contribution to the domestic fertilizer sector.
GAIL (India) Limited has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Chhattisgarh to develop a greenfield gas-based fertilizer project in the state. The MoU was signed in the presence of the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, Shri Vishnu Deo Sai.

The final investment decision for the fertilizer project will be made based on the outcomes of the techno-economic evaluation.
The Government of Chhattisgarh will facilitate the project's various stages, including support for feasibility studies, identifying and allocating land, coordinating with authorities, obtaining statutory approvals, and ensuring necessary infrastructure for implementation.
GAIL (India) Limited, a Maharatna Public Sector Undertaking, aims to leverage its expertise in natural gas transmission and distribution to contribute to the fertilizer sector and strengthen domestic fertilizer production.
