- National Fertilizers Limited (NFL) is an Indian government-owned central public sector undertaking and the largest producer of urea fertilizer in India, founded in 1974 and headquartered in New Delhi. The company operates primarily in the fertilizer industry, manufacturing and marketing a range of products including urea, neem-coated urea, bio-fertilizers (solid and liquid forms), and allied industrial products such as ammonia, nitric acid, ammonium nitrate, sodium nitrite, and sodium nitrate. NFL has multiple gas-based ammonia-urea plants located in Punjab (Nangal and Bathinda), Haryana (Panipat), and Madhya Pradesh (Vijaipur). The company also trades in agro-inputs like certified quality seeds, compost, agrochemicals (insecticides, herbicides), and bentonite sulfur, and provides additional services such as soil testing, crop consultancy, and custom fertilizer blending to support farmers. In recent years, National Fertilizers Limited has undertaken significant strategic moves, including its 2025 approval of a ₹5.72 billion investment in Assam Valley Fertilizer and Chemical Company Limited (AVFCCL) to develop a new ammonia-urea complex plant (Namrup IV) in Namrup, Assam, where NFL holds an 18 percent equity stake as part of a joint venture with other stakeholders. This project aims to enhance fertilizer production capacity in Northeast India and strengthen NFL's footprint in that region. Additionally, NFL has approved the construction of a new water-soluble fertilizers plant costing approximately ₹208 crore, reflecting the company's focus on expanding its product portfolio and production capabilities. Despite facing challenging financials recently, NFL continues to invest in long-term growth and capacity expansion. The company is categorized as a Navratna enterprise under the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, operating with a major stake held by the Government of India. National Fertilizers Limited's core industries include nitrogenous fertilizers production and agrochemical trading, serving primarily the Indian agricultural market. It emphasizes value-added product offerings such as neem-coated urea, which is recognized for its efficacy and is produced at three of its manufacturing units. NFL also produces three types of bio-fertilizers: Rhizobium, Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria, and Azotobacter, aiming to promote sustainable agriculture. The company operates across India with its manufacturing plants spread in northern and central regions and its strategic investments extending to the northeast. NFL also produces a range of industrial chemicals supporting various related industries. The company maintains a diversified product range focused on boosting agricultural productivity through high-quality fertilizers and allied inputs while expanding its manufacturing infrastructure via joint ventures and greenfield projects. This includes enhancing regional fertilizer availability and addressing environmental and efficiency aspects through product innovation. National Fertilizers Limited remains a critical player in India’s fertilizer sector with ongoing initiatives to increase production capacities, diversify products, and support agricultural growth in multiple regions of the country.
