Brahmaputra Valley Fertilizer Corporation Limited:
In 2002, the Namrup Fertilizer Complex was bifurcated from the Hindustan Fertilizer Corporation Limited and came to exist as one of the important public sector fertilizer companies under the new name, Brahmaputra Valley Fertilizer Corporation Limited. There are in total, 3 production plants at Namrup, in the Assam’s Dibrugarh district. The discovery of surplus natural gas and oil in the Naharkatia-Moran region and Lakwa oil fields respectively, provided the incentive for setting up the third production unit of Namrup.
The Brahmaputra Valley Fertilizer Corporation Limited is well-known for the production of urea and ammonia. However, only urea is produced for the market under the brand name of Mukta Urea. Ammonia is produced as an ancillary product used as the raw material for producing urea. The marketing of the Mukta Urea largely depends on the cooperative network of the KRIBHCO, one of the important cooperative fertilizer companies. Other than this, the Brahmaputra Valley Fertilizer Corporation Limited also has its own network of over 400 dealers, comprising the cooperative society, institutional buyers, and private traders.
