- The Fertilisers and Chemicals Travancore Limited (FACT) manufactures and markets fertilizers and petrochemicals primarily in India. It offers complex fertilizers including ammonium phosphate-sulphate (FACTAMFOS), zincated ammonium phosphate, ammonium sulphate, and organic fertilizers under brands such as FACT Organic and FACT Organic Plus. The company also produces bio-fertilizers including azospirillum, rhizobium, and phosphate solubilizing bacteria under the BIOFACT brand, and bagged gypsum under the FACT Gypsum brand. Its petrochemical segment includes caprolactam, manufactured from raw materials like benzene, sulphur, ammonia, and carbon dioxide, serving applications in nylon tyre cords, nylon filament yarns, and engineering plastics for textile and automobile industries. Major by-products include anhydrous ammonia, cyclohexanone, soda ash, nitric acid, gypsum, sulphuric acid, and coloured ammonium sulphate. FACT operates through two production units located in Udyogamandal, Kerala, with headquarters in Kochi, India. Founded in 1943, FACT is the first fertilizer manufacturing company in independent India and a central public sector undertaking in Kerala. In recent developments, FACT maintains a strategic position in India's fertilizer and petrochemical markets with operational expectations to expand raw material sourcing, including phosphate procurement talks from Togo. The company reported production figures of approximately 1.07 million metric tons of fertilizer and 45,000 metric tons of caprolactam in the fiscal year 2022-2023. Financially, FACT experienced fluctuating profitability with noted declines in consolidated profits during recent quarters. There are no recent major acquisitions or name changes; however, the company continues to focus on product diversification, including organic and bio-fertilizers emphasizing sustainable agriculture. FACT also announced corporate governance updates, including board membership changes in 2025. Overall, the company emphasizes maintaining and expanding its fertilizer production while evolving its petrochemical offerings to meet industrial demand in India and select international markets. FACT's business segments broadly encompass fertilizer production, petrochemical synthesis, engineering consultancy, and industrial equipment fabrication. Its fertilizer portfolio targets agricultural sectors with products suitable for various soil and crop types, addressing micronutrient deficiencies and organic farming needs. The petrochemical segment supports the textile and automobile industries with caprolactam and associated chemicals. Geographic operations are centered in India, with growth aspirations linked to raw material sourcing diversification. FACT's longstanding heritage and government backing underscore its role as a key player in India’s agribusiness and chemical manufacturing sectors.
