Ltd.).R.C.F. has always chosen the best available technology at the time of inception of every plant and followed it up with up gradation from time to time to improve energy efficiency and make the plants eco friendly. The first phase plants of Trombay unit, Ammonia, Urea, Complex fertilizer, Suphala(15:15:15), Sulfuric Acid and Nitric acid were commissioned in October November,1965 .In the second phase, Methanol Plant was put up in 1966 which was known as Trombay II diversification. This included addition of various chemical plants like ammonium Bicarbonate plant, Sodium Nitrate/ite Plant, Methylamines Plant, Concentrated Nitric Acid plant and Phosphoric acid plant. Further expansion in terms of Nitric Acid Plant, Complex Fertilizer Ammonium Nitrate Phosphate, additional Steam generation plants and a Water treatment Plant, Bagging Plant and an Effluent treatment plant was commissioned in 1979.This was termed as the Trombay IV expansion. In 1977another expansion V was planned which had one Ammonia and one Urea Plant with Associated Gas Compressor, steam

Generation, Water Treatment and Bagging Plant. This project was commissioned in 1981.R.C.F.s Thal Plant is located about 100 kms from Mumbai.

Spread over an area of 600 acres, it has an investment of 890 crores which amounts to investments of over 5000 crores as per todays valuation. The Thal Plant was started on 17th Oct, 1984 Sector Analysis:

Fertilizer sector is very crucial for Indian economy because it provides a very important input to agriculture. The fertilizer industry in India has played a pivotal role in achieving self sufficiency in food grains as well as in rapid and sustained agriculture growth. India is the third largest producer and consumer of fertilizer in world after China and USA.The growth of the fertilizer highly dependent on government policies. The govt. exercise extensive controls on pricing, distribution and movement of fertilizers. There has been significant growth in the consumption of fertilizers in last three years due to overall good monsoon. The growth in NPK consumption was 9.50% in 2004-05, 10.60 % in 2005-06 and 8.40% per cent in 2006-07.The robust growth in consumption of domestic fertilizer production has remained in range, from last decades. Fertilizers output grew by a modest 6.50 per cent during 2006-07. The surge in fertilizers demand and stagnant to modest increase in production has widened the gap between consumption and production, causing larger dependence on imports. Therefore, the rising demand for fertilizers is providing ample scope for the companies in this sector to increase their production capacity and volumes thereby, driving the growth of fertilizer.

The fertilizer sector in last few months has shown some upward trend on the ground that government may come out with policies favoring the sector, which would provide boost to the companies in this sector. The sector looks attractive, as there can be unlimited opportunity to increase the volumes to fulfill the gap between supply and demand. The companies with huge capex plans are in queue just waiting for the nod of DoF(Department of fertilizers), and once the sector get ground clearance from DoF than one can see new highs for this sector as a whole. Therefore, there is a bullishness on the sector with the time horizon of 1-2 years and expect that sector would outperform the broad market in coming years. Outlook: RCF is set to receive an immediate boost from increased availability of natural gas It is to get 3.05 million cubic meters per day (mcmd) of gas from Reliance Industries, which will enable it to restart its 3.3-lakh-TPA urea plant at Trombay by this month-end and cut down naphtha consumption at its Thal plant. It will also restart its 3.2-lakh-TPA complex fertilizer plant at Trombay, which was closed due to an accident. RCFs Rapid wall project to produce low-cost pre-fabricated walling systems from gypsum produced at Trombay will start operations by end-April and the company is also

revamping its methanol plant to add more capacity and cut energy consumption. All these initiatives will raise output, raising turnover and boosting bottom line. Lower costs will bring down its subsidy bill. The lower dependence on government payments, typically made two to three months after actual production, will help cut RCFs short-term borrowings and interest costs. In the long run too, RCF has various expansion projects planned to drive growth. It has set up a joint venture with Rajasthan State Mines & Minerals (RSMML) to set up a 3-lakh-TPA diammonium phosphate (DAP) fertilizer plant in Rajasthan at a total estimated cost of Rs 900 crore. This project involves a 2:1 debt-equity ratio. The company is also de-bottlenecking its Thal plant to scale up urea manufacturing capacity to 20 lakh TPA by mid-2010 from 17 lakh TPA now. At Thal, it is also considering a 1.2-million-TPA brownfield urea expansion. RCF has also entered into a joint venture with Gail for a coal-bed-methane project and with National Fertilizers and KRIBHCO for revival of a defunct fertilizer plant. RCF is one of the leading manufacturers of urea in India with a share of 9.6% in the countrys production capacity. The companys market share is relatively higher at 13.73%, as it undertakes significant sale of imported urea. With significant increase in trading activities, the company has been able to bolster its urea market share in the last few years. With increasing area under irrigation and rise in cultivation of hybrid crops and horticulture varieties, the demand for urea is expected to remain strong. So, considering the above mentioned points the future of RCF looks bright.
