Coromandel Unveils Nano Fertilizer
The new Nano Fertiliser plant marks Coromandel’s entry into next-generation fertilisers, which promise to revolutionize Indian agriculture.
This state-of-the-art facility employs energy-efficient technologies and features a fully automated production line, including robotic arms for bottling operations.
It has the capacity to produce 10 million bottles of Nano fertilisers annually, with potential for scalability to meet growing demands and produce a wide range of Nano fertilisers.
Coromandel has developed Nano fertilisers like Nano DAP (Di-Ammonium Phosphate) and Nano Urea through its in-house Research and Development center at the IIT Bombay-Monash Research Academy.
These nano-sized particles ensure optimal nutrient delivery and absorption by plants, offering a potential replacement for conventional fertilisers while boosting crop yields.
Marketed under the brand names “Gromor Nano DAP” and “Gromor Nano Urea,” these environmentally friendly fertilisers have received positive feedback across various regions and crop segments.
The strong response from the farming community prompted Coromandel to establish the comprehensive Nano fertiliser facility at Kakinada to meet nationwide demand.
Extensive field trials conducted with farmers have confirmed the efficacy of these Nano fertilisers.
Additionally, Coromandel has established a Nano Technology Center in Coimbatore, focusing on the application of Nano technology in agriculture and ensuring the quality of its Nano product range.
During the launch event, Coromandel also recognized its key channel partners who have been instrumental in making Nano DAP accessible to farmers across the country.
At the launch, Mr. Sankarasubramanian S expressed his enthusiasm about the new plant, stating, “Coromandel’s Nano Fertiliser Plant at Kakinada is a testament to our commitment to enhancing nutrient efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and improving the economic viability of farming in India.
The government’s support for Nano DAP signals a new era in Indian agriculture, where technology and sustainability go hand in hand.
This innovative solution aligns with our goals of boosting agricultural productivity and sustainability, and we believe that Nano fertilisers will play a crucial role in shaping the future of Indian agriculture.”
This new facility underscores Coromandel International’s dedication to advancing agricultural technology and sustainability, positioning itself at the forefront of transforming farming practices in India with innovative solutions that address both efficiency and environmental concerns.
