According to the investment plan disclosed at the meeting, SPIC has designated Rs 9.7 billion to overhaul the existing urea plant, increase capacity, and establish a 150 MTPD Green Ammonia Plant. Additionally, the group company, Greenstar Fertilizers, has allocated Rs 6.4 billion for the establishment of a water-soluble fertilizer mixing plant in Chennai, a 2,500 MTPA Sulphuric acid plant, and the refurbishment of existing plants in Tuticorin. SPIC's Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals and Fertilisers is set to establish a soda ash and ammonium chloride plant in Tuticorin with an investment of Rs 2.9 billion.
