New Delhi: The Central government has decided to revive the Talcher unit of the Fertilizer Corporation of India Ltd (FCIL) by setting up an ammonia urea plant.

In a written reply in Lok Sabha on Tuesday, Union Minister of Health & Family Welfare and Chemicals & Fertilizers Mansukh Mandaviya said the plant of 12.7 lakh tonne per annum capacity will be set up as a joint venture company.

Gas Authority of India Ltd (GAIL), Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd (RCF), Coal India ltd (CIL) and FCIL are stakeholders in the joint venture company. Named Talcher Fertilizers Ltd (TFL), it was incorporated on November 3, 2015.
