Dear All ,

From sources it is learnt that , to ensure connectivity to consumers, including fertilizer units, efforts are being made to create additional gas transportation infrastructure in the country. Authorizations have been issued to GAIL and RGTIL for laying new pipelines. These pipelines will provide connectivity to all FO based and Naphtha based units, which are to be converted to natural gas, and closed fertilizer units for their revival.

As such, the connectivity is expected to be available to all these units by the time they are in a position to offtake gas. Progress of implementation of these pipelines is being monitored periodically.

The issue related to gas supply and connectivity to Fertiliser sector is now being looked at the highest level by the Planning Commission. Recently a meeting was taken by Saumitra Chaudhary. Member, Planning Commission on the subject and the following issues were discussed

Further our barauni plant is among the list gas having requirement of 2.2 mmmscmd for the year 2012-14 , which is a good sign and indication of revival of our closed Barauni unit.

Dear Sir ,



Thanks for updating ,It may be a rumour .

However I may like to mention that Planning Commission have already set up a Working Group on Fertilizers Industry under the Chairmanship of Secretary (fertilizers) that comprises CMD of NFL and others like RCF ,Kribhco , Indo gulf , Joint Secretary (Fertilizers), DoF.



And the news may be on basis of the Review of Fertilizer Policies , Assessment of Fertilizer Demand , Capacity Addition and Production ,Planning (Renovation, Modernization , Issues of Revival of Sick and Closed fertilizer units.



And these are the possible modes of revival is being discussed.


POSSIBLE MODES FOR REVIVAL

There are several possibilities for reviving of the closed units of FCIL/HFCL. Some of the possibilities are:

(a) To explore the possibility of hiving off individual units to existing profit making fertilizer PSUs or invite ‘Expression of Interest’ for Joint Ventures in a transparent manner for revival, without infusion of capital or guarantee being sought from the Government.

(b) Setting up of new Brownfield Fertilizer Plants, using natural gas/LNG/Coal gas/CBM as feedstock, by setting up a Joint Venture with Strategic Partners, with no fresh infusion of capital or guarantee being sought from the Government.

(c) Setting up of a new Joint Venture project with the public/private equity participation in non-fertilizer sector, such as petrochemical complex or power plant etc.

(d) Any other suitable/viable model, keeping in view that fertilizer production should be a necessary activity in the model, along with any other viable economic activity.







Accordingly following Closed Units Connectivity are envisaged.





Closed Units Connectivity

1


FCI, Ramagundam


-


Spur on Kakinada to Uran via Hyderabad


2008-09

2


FCI, Talcher


-


Coal Gasification


-

3

4

5

6

7


FCI, Sindri

FCI, Gorakhpur

HFC, Barauni

HFC, Durgapur

HFC, Haldia


-


Spurs from the following options:

(i) Jagdishpur - Haldia

(ii) Orissa Coast to Haldia & towards Gujarat


2009-10

This is getting delayed , work in progress.





Further the working group have mentioned that

· There are several reasons for considering the revival of the closed units of these companies as an alternative to allowing them to be liquidated. Some of the more pressing reasons are briefly discussed below.



· Most of the units of these closed companies have excellent existing infrastructure in the shape of residential colonies, coal and electricity tie-ups, water filtration plants, Railway sidings and a very sizeable area of land. This infrastructure is ideal for Brown Field Projects. Liquidating this infrastructure would be a colossal national loss of valuable resources.



· Some of these units are located near coal pitheads, which ensure availability of cheap coal for fuel and feedstock. This makes these units of strategic value for power plants as well as for fertilizer/petrochemical complexes through the route of coal gasification. Majority of these units are also likely to be on the proposed national gas grid.
