Production of fertilizer nutrients recorded increase during June 2019 over June 2018. Production of N at 1.105 million metric tonnes (MMT) during June 2019 remained almost at the same level of previous year (i.e. June 2018). However, production of P2O5 at 0.398 MMT increased by 4.1% during June 2019 over June 2018. Among the major fertilizers, production of DAP and SSP recorded increase of 9.9% and 10.2%, respectively, during June 2019 over June 2018. However, production of urea and NP/NPKs fell by 1.4% and 0.6%, respectively, during the period. Capacity utilization of N reduced from 96.7% during June 2018 to 92.5% during June 2019. However, in case of P2O5, it increased from 64.5% to 67.2% during same the period.
