Natural Gas

Natural gas is the preferred feedstock for urea manufacture. The demand for natural gas for the next two decades was projected for the fertilizer sector. These projections were made in the context of changing government policies regarding the fertilizer industry, such as farm gate price regulation and self-sufficiency level of indigenous urea production. The current growth plan of natural gas supply and evolving supply scenario in the future were also considered in the study. Depending on the price of urea the need for natural gas was projected to be between 27 BCM and 34 BCM for 2025–26.
