AP: Coromandel Intl inaugurates second Sulphur manufacturing plant at its Vizag facility

Visakhapatnam, Mar 6 (UNI) Coromandel International Limited, one of India’s leading agri-solutions providers on Thursday announced that it has inaugurated the second Sulphur manufacturing plant at its Visakhapatnam facility in Andhra Pradesh.
Visakhapatnam site is the company’s wholly backward integrated unit and produces approximately 12 LMT of complex fertilisers along with Phosphoric acid and Sulphuric acid.
The site also hosts a Sulphur Fertiliser plant with 25000 MT production capacity.
With the inauguration of this new plant, Sulphur fertiliser capacity is doubled, ensuring a steady supply of high-quality bentonite Sulphur fertilisers to the farmers, the company said in a release here.
The new plant is equipped with advanced German technology and capabilities to fortify Sulphur fertilisers with multiple micronutrients, addressing the evolving nutrient deficiencies in Indian soil.
Beyond production, this facility also sets the stage for research and development for introducing new Sulphur variants designed to meet the crop and geography specific needs of Indian agriculture.
This expansion marks a significant step in strengthening Coromandel’s presence in the specialty nutrients market, reinforcing its commitment to Indian agriculture.
The event was graced by S Sankarasubramanian, Managing Director & CEO, Coromandel International Limited, Avinash Thakur, Business Head, Specialty Nutrient and Organic Fertilisers, and other senior team members.
Sulphur is an essential nutrient for plant growth, playing a crucial role in protein synthesis, enzyme function, and overall crop productivity.
In India, Sulphur deficiency is a growing concern due to factors like intensive cropping, imbalanced fertiliser use, and declining organic matter in soil.
By increasing its Bentonite Sulphur capacity, Coromandel aims to provide Indian farmers with high-quality, affordable, and sustainable nutrient solutions to improve soil health and maximize yields.
Speaking at the inauguration, Sankarasubramanian, said “Over the next 4-5 years, this plant will play a crucial role in effectively meeting the growing demand for Bentonite Sulphur fertilisers across India.
This milestone aligns with our long-term vision of advancing agricultural growth through technology and farmer-focused initiatives.”
