India has significantly enhanced its indigenous urea production capacity to 283.74 Lakh Metric Tonnes per annum under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives. This growth is driven by policy measures such as the New Investment Policy (NIP)–2012, which led to the establishment of six new urea units, adding substantial capacity. The increase reflects the government’s focus on reducing dependency on imports and strengthening domestic fertiliser production. Additionally, reforms like the New Urea Policy (2015) and expansion of raw material supply agreements have further contributed to ensuring long-term sustainability and self-reliance in fertiliser production.
