IFFCO Production Unit

Kalol (Gujarat)

kalol kalol

IFFCO’s Mother Plant

IFFCO’s first Urea & Ammonia production Facility, Kalol Production unit was commissioned in 1974 with a production capacity of 910 MTPD of Ammonia & 1200 MTPD of Urea. Over the last 4 decades, IFFCO Kalol Production unit has expanded & reinvented to stay at par with the modern production units both in terms of production capacity as well as the technology. Today IFFCO Kalol plant has a production capacity of 1100 MTPD of Ammonia and 1650 MTPD of Urea.

Urea plant with a design capacity of 1200 MTPD was commissioned on 31st January, 1975 based on the technology from M/s Stamicarbon BV, Netherland.

Ammonia plant with a design capacity of 910 MTPD was commissioned on 5th November, 1974 based on the technology from M/s Kellogg, USA.
Year 1975

Capacity Enhancement Project was commissioned on 29th August, 1997 and the design production capacity of Kalol unit increased to 1100 MTPD of Ammonia & 1650 MTPD of Urea.

Year 1997

The Energy Savings Project were implemented in two phases. ESP Phase-1 got completed on June 30, 2005 and ESP Phase-2 on May 17, 2006. Net energy savings achieved was 0.837 Gcal/ T of Ammonia.

Year 2005 - 2006

Commenced 100% production of Neem Coated Urea from January, 2015 onwards.

Year 2015

The Energy Savings Project Phase-3 was implemented & schemes were adopted in both Ammonia and Urea Plants. Net energy savings achieved was 0.365 Gcal/ MT of Ammonia and 0.297 Gcal/MT of Urea. M/s Casale S.A., Switzerland was Basic Engineering Consultant and M/s Projects and Development India Limited, Noida was Detailed Engineering Consultant.

Year 2015 - 2017

Commissioned a pilot plant of Diesel Exhaust Fluid with capacity of 5 KLPH. Commercial Production commenced on 2nd September 2019.
