Economic and Employment Impact

Beyond enhancing fertilizer availability, the Namrup IV Fertilizer Plant is expected to act as a catalyst for economic development in Assam. It will generate employment opportunities and contribute to the industrial growth of the region, reinforcing the state’s role in India’s agricultural and chemical sectors.

A Collaborative Push for Agri-Infrastructure Development

AVFCCL’s establishment is a testament to the growing collaboration between Central and State governments and key Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) aimed at investing in critical agriculture-related infrastructure.
