Fertilizer Sector Skills Council
Implementation of
National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF)
Background:
1.1. Fertilizers have been considered as an essential input to Indian agriculture for
meeting the food grain requirements of the growing population of the country. India is
the 2nd largest producer of Urea after China, the 3rd largest producer of finished
phosphate fertilizers after USA and China, the 2nd largest consumer of Urea after
China, one of the largest consumers of phosphates along with China, USA and Brazil
and the third largest consumer of potash after China and USA. In case of Urea, India is
partially dependent on import. India imports nearly 30% of its urea requirements, which
is about 20-22% of the global trade. India accounted for 15.3 per cent of the World’s
consumption of nitrogenous (N), 19 per cent of phosphatic (P) and 14.4 per cent of
potassic(K) nutrients in 2008 (FAI, 2010). In the process of expansion of fertiliser
production capacity in the three decades of 1960s to 1990s, the industry also helped to
develop a large base of trained technical manpower. Engineers and technicians from
fertiliser industry not only migrated to large Indian chemical, refinery and petrochemical
industries but also to all other countries in Middle East and South East Asia. Though,
the manpower capabilities have been depleted in last decade or so due to lack of
growth in the sector, still the sector has one of the best technical manpower in the
world.

About the Industry:
Fertilizer is defined as any organic or inorganic substance, natural or artificial in nature
supplying one or more of the chemical elements/nutrients required for plant growth. Sixteen
plant nutrients are necessary for proper plant development. These are classified into three
categories viz; primary (macro) nutrients, secondary nutrients, and micronutrients.
Application of essential plant nutrients in right proportion, through correct method and
time of application is helpful to increase crop production. Primary (macro) nutrients are
nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). They are the most frequently required
in a crop fertilization programme and are needed in the larger quantity by plants as
fertilizer. So, major focus of the Indian fertilizer sector policy has been on primary
(macro) nutrients. Besides, being used as fertilisers themselves,these three nutrients
are combined to produce several complex fertilisers
Manufactured fertilizers are classified according to different criteria as follows:
1. Number of nutrients
Single-nutrient or straight fertilizers (whether for macro or micronutrients)
examplesurea (46-0-0), triple superphosphate (0-46-0),muriate of potash
(0-0-60), zinc/iron chelates, boric acid, etc.
Multi-nutrient/compound (multiple nutrients) fertilizers, with 2, 3 or more
nutrients
examples: compound fertilizers (15-15-15), diammonium phosphate (18-
46-0), monopotassium phosphate (0-47-31), etc.
2. Type of combination
mixed fertilizers or ‘bulk-blends’ are physical mixtures of two or more
single-nutrient or multi-nutrient fertilizers;
complex fertilizers are products in which two or more of the nutrients
are chemically combined (e.g. nitrophosphates, ammonium
phosphates).
3. Physical condition
solid (crystalline, powdered, prilled or granular) of various size
ranges; liquid (solutions and suspensions);
gaseous (liquid under pressure, e.g. ammonia).
4. Nutrient release
quick-acting (water-soluble and immediately available);
slow-acting (transformation into soluble form required, e.g. direct
application of phosphate rock);
controlled-release by coating;
stabilized by inhibitors.

The principles of the right use of nutrient source, rate, time and place form the minimum
basis of any local nutrient stewardship system. Best management practices must be
applied to all of these areas to achieve local economic, social and environmental goals.
1.3 According to the report of Department of Fertilizers, the type of fertilizers
produced in India is given in Table below, installed capacity of various fertilizers and
production of fertilizers is given below.
The list of straight nitrogenous fertilizer plants (UREA, AS, CAN, ACI) is installed in India given
as Annexure-1.
Upto the year 2016-17, fertilizer demand in the country is projected to increase to about 336.77
lakh tons (33.67 million tons) urea, 124.13 lakh tons (12.41 million tons) DAP, 59.48 lakh tons
(5.94 million tons) SSP and 47.93 lakh tons (4.79 million tons) MOP.The all India demand
forecast is given below.

1.4 To meet the projected demand, additional fertilizer production capacity along with
a conducive and stable policy environment, availability of raw materials, capital
resources and price incentives will play a critical role in near future of Indian Fertilizer
Industry.
1.5 As per the FAI report (FAI, 2010) total no of trained and untrained manpower
employed in this sector is approx 50000 including public and co-operative sector and
private sector (as on 2007).
1.6 Additional project employment generation in the Fertilizer Sector will be around
1.0 Lakhs in the next five years in the following areas. For development of professional
manpower in the sector, specialized training may be given to selected manpower in the
sector. The broad area of training may include:
Agromony (cropping Pattern, Soil Characteristics, fertilizer Usage)
Promotional Activities for increase in Fertilizers usage
Distribution Logistics of fertilizer transport
Latest Developments in Technology fronts
Plant Maintenance techniques
1.7 From technical side the following are the programmes offered:

Instrumental systems and Maintenance
1.9 At present, the country is having vast agricultural extension system to educate
the farmers on improved farm technologies. Central/State Governments, State
Agriculture Universities, ICAR, NGOs etc. are engaged for this purpose. However,
Farmers’ knowledge regarding the right product, dosage, time and method of
application of fertilizers based on soil condition is very limited, leading to inefficient use
of fertilizers. Extension services are required to be rejuvenated and reoriented with
focus on the poor farmers and low fertilizer consumption areas for increasing farm
profitability. There is need for permanent technical manpower in the DOF for the plant
site as well as at the field level.
1.10 Fertilizers industry mainly produces Urea, DAP, NP/NPK, SSP and MOP
fertilizers and for the same there are Ammonia Plants, Urea Plants, DAP, NP/NPK
Plants were installed. These plants are producing less fertilizer as compared to installed
capacity due to various reasons including unskilled manpower. In spite of tremendous
efforts made in developing our technological base in the fertilizer sector, gap still exists.

Criteria and Assumptions for evaluating the Skilled
Manpower requirement of Fertilizer Industry
1 Taking into account the predicted values of independent variables, assuming normal
rainfall for the forecast period and actual values of lagged consumption up to
2010‐11 and predicted values of it thereon, the forecasts of total nutrients
(N+P2O5+K2O) has been made. This has been broken into N, P2O5 and K2O
separately by applying suitable NPK use ratio. The demand forecast of fertiliser
nutrients for the period 2012‐13 to 2016‐17 and beyond, i.e., up to 2024‐25 has been
worked out. Based on the model, the total nutrient consumption is estimated at
33.81 million tonnes in 2016‐17 as against 29.68 million tonnes in 2012‐13. It is
expected to rise at 1.309 billion during the terminal year of 12th Plan (2016) and
1.431 billion by 2025.
2 The response ratio of 1:6 for fertilizer to food-grain has to be maintained through
balanced fertilization and efficient use of fertilizer. NPK use ratio may improve from
the current level of 4.8:2.3:1 to 4.6:2.3:1 by the end of 2024‐25.

II. Measures to Meet the Demand
To fulfill the projected demand during the Plan period, there is need for proper
estimation of supply. It is imperative to make the projections of supply keeping in view
the medium and long‐term goals of the Fertilizer Sector.
a) Medium term: The medium term period may cover a period of five years
(2012‐2016‐17). The goal of the fertilizer sector in medium term should aim at:
o Achieving self‐sufficiency in nitrogen production through urea by the
terminal year of the 12th Plan and
o Maximization of the production of phosphate.
Nitrogen:Urea constitutes about 78 per cent of the total nitrogen consumption in
the country. Currently, the gap between consumption and production is about 6
to 7 million tonnes. The gap will increase in coming years unless new capacities
are created. At least 6 – 8 new projects of 1.2 million tonnes capacity each are
needed to fill the present consumption – production gap and to meet the further
increase in urea demand in next 5 years. A number of urea manufacturing
companies are waiting for implementation of new capacities subject to the
announcement of new investment policy for urea and additional allocation of gas
at reasonable prices.
Phosphate: For meeting requirement of phosphatic fertilizers, the country has to
use the judicious mix of manufacturing domestically through imported raw
materials, like phosphate rock, sulphur and ammonia or through imported
intermediates, viz., phosphoric acid and ammonia besides importing finished
fertilizers to supplement the domestic production. The production of SSP is
needed to be maximized to reduce dependence on imported DAP or other
imported phosphatic fertilizers. However, quality of finished fertilizer products
should be as per FCO, 1985 specifications.
b) Long‐term: The long term period may cover 5 to 10 years beyond 2016‐17. In
the long run, additional requirement of fertilizers is to be fulfilled through creation
of domestic capacities and acquiring assets abroad for setting up joint ventures

Skill Gap Analysis:
Ministry of Fertilizers, Government of India assigned the task to CIPET for studying the
skill gap analysis for fertilizers sectors. The meeting with stake holders of Fertilizers
regarding the Assessment & implementation of skill development plan was held on
07.06.2016 at room no. 3220, A –Wing Shastri Bhawan, New Delhi under chairmanship
of Shri Piyush Srivastava, Economic Advisor, Department of Fertilizers with the stake
holder like GNFC, RCFL, FAI, IPL, IFFCO, Coromandel and CIPET.
To prepare the Assessment & implementation of skill development plan CIPET asked all
the stake holders to submit manpower available and required department wise for each
plants (only numbers).
