DAP and NPK complexes (fertilisers)

As value-added downstream products, Hindalco produces di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) and nitrogen phosphorus potassium (NPK) complexes, which are used as fertilisers. The DAP plant went on stream in October 2000 and has a capacity of 400,000 tpa. It manufactures DAP and NPK complexes such as 10:26:26,12:32:16 and 20:20:0.

Phosphoric acid is produced at the company's phosphoric acid plant by the chemical reaction of sulphuric acid from the smelting complex and rock phosphate, which is imported. At the DAP plant, phosphoric acid and ammonia are reacted to form DAP. Imported potash is used to produce the NPK complexes.

The phosphatic fertilisers are marketed under the brand name Birla Balwan, which commands a strong market position and is very popular among farmers in the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana. The recently launched soil conditioner, branded as Birla Phospho Gypsum, has also been well accepted by farmers.

Products are sold through private trade channels as well as institutions like co-operatives and Agro Industry Corp.
