HAZIRA FERTILIZER

closed

Closed

Construction of a fertilizer plant at Hazira, in the State of Gujarat, with a daily capacity of about 2,700 metric tons of ammonia and about 4,400 metric tons of urea, including the provision of infrastructure, auxiliary and offsite facilities required for the efficient maintenance and operation of the plant. Possible risks facing the project are in the form of implementation delays, and possible management shortcomings. These risks are minimized by the use of commercially proven technologies supplied by internationally recognized engineering firms and by the use of the services of staff recruited from the team that successfully completed the Bank-financed IFFCO Phulphur project, who are experienced in building and commissioning similar plants. The risk of delay in plant commissioning if the gas pipeline to Hazira is not completed on time will be minimized by the close monitoring of the pipeline to be constructed by GOI. The possible management risk would be minimized on account of the action taken by KRIBHCO to hire the services of efficient senior managers from IFFCO to help to implement this project.
