Policy guaranteed buy-back of urea for eight years from start of production. Encouraged by this clause, 13 fertilizer firms applied for setting up new plant or expanding capacity of existing plant by about 16 million tonne. However, India needs an additional capacity of only 8 million tonne of urea to become self-sufficient. The domestic production stands at about 22 million tonne.
