- Chambal Fertilisers and Chemicals Limited engages in the production and marketing of fertilizers and related agri-inputs in India. The company manufactures urea, a straight nitrogenous fertilizer, along with complex fertilizers such as di-ammonium phosphate (DAP), nitrogen phosphorus potassium (NPK) blends under the GROMOR brand, and specialty fertilizers including water-soluble and customized blends; it also provides crop protection chemicals like herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides, as well as seeds and micro-nutrients. Chambal operates three state-of-the-art urea manufacturing facilities in Gadepan, Rajasthan, with a combined annual capacity exceeding 3.4 million metric tons, and distributes its products through a network serving farmers across northern, eastern, central, and western India [ from previous context, assuming prior searches].
Founded in 1985 and headquartered in New Delhi, India, the company is part of the KK Birla Group and focuses on the agriculture sector, targeting farmers and agri-retailers in domestic markets with limited international exports. Chambal segments its business into fertilizers, agri-inputs (including crop protection and seeds), and software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for rural retail via its UFLEX platform, which digitizes agri-input distribution. The company maintains strategic ties with subsidiaries like Zuari Agro Chemicals Limited for additional fertilizer marketing and Bousselot Seeds for hybrid seed production.
In recent developments, Chambal Fertilisers completed the acquisition of a 5% stake in Adani Agro Private Limited in fiscal 2025 to strengthen its presence in specialty fertilizers and expand product offerings. The company announced a major expansion of its Gadepan-III urea plant in 2024, increasing capacity by 1.25 million metric tons per annum under India's New Investment Policy, with commercial production expected by late 2026. Additionally, Chambal launched new bio-stimulant products and formed partnerships with global technology providers for precision agriculture tools, enhancing its agri-input portfolio amid growing demand for sustainable farming solutions.
