Indian Economy

The economy of India is the eleventh largest in the world by nominal GDP and the third largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). The country is one of the G-20 major economies and a member of BRICS. On a per capita income basis, India ranked 140th by nominal GDP and 129th by GDP (PPP) in 2011, according to the IMF.

After the independence-era Indian economy (before and a little after 1947) was inspired by the Soviet model of economic development, with a large public sector, high import duties combined with interventionist policies, leading to massive inefficiencies and widespread corruption. However, later on India adopted free market principles and liberalized its economy to international trade under the guidance of Manmohan Singh, who then was the Finance Minister of India under the leadership of P.V. Narasimha Rao the then Prime Minister who eliminated License Raj a pre- and post-British Era mechanism of strict government control on setting up new industry. Following these strong economic reforms, and a strong focus on developing national infrastructure such as the Golden Quadrilateral project by Atal Bihari Vajpayee the then Prime Minister the country's economic growth progressed at a rapid pace with very high rates of growth and large increases in the incomes of people.

India recorded the highest growth rates in the mid-2000s, and is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. India has recorded a growth of over 200 times in per capita income in a period from 1947 (Rs 249.6) to 2011. The growth was led primarily due to a huge increase in the size of the middle class consumer, a large labour force, growth in the manufacturing sector due to rising education levels and engineering skills and considerable foreign investments. India is the nineteenth largest exporter and tenth largest importer in the world. Economic growth rate stood at around 6.5% for the 2011–12 fiscal year.

Fertilizer is defined as any substance which is organic or inorganic, natural or artificial, supplies one or more of the chemical elements required for plant growth. Carbon, oxygen and hydrogen are directly supplied by air and water and therefore not treated as nutrients by the fertilizer industry. One of the vital industries for the Indian economy is the Indian Fertilizer Industry as it manufactures a very critical raw material for agriculture which is the major occupation of the country. The fertilizers especially like the ammonia urea plants are energy demanding in their operation.

Fertilizer Industry in India

Indian fertilizer industry's main objective is to ensure the supply of primary and secondary nutrients in the required quantities. The Indian Fertilizer Industry is the most energy intensive sectors according to the context of environmental discussions. As there is increasing productivity through the implementation of competent and pollution free technologies in the manufacturing sector it would be desirable in combining economic, environmental and social development objectives. Today the Indian fertilizer industry in the past 50 years has grown in size and stature as it ranks third in the world.

Brief Introduction

In 1950-51 in India the per hectare consumption of fertilizer was less than 1/4th of the global average. During this particular period the production was by and large in the purview of public sector and co operative sector. Government introduced the Retention Price Scheme (RPS) in the year 1977 with the goals of providing fertilizers to farmers at reasonable rates without affecting the profitability of the manufacturers.

The government under this policy would pay the manufacturers, the difference between the administered price (sale price) and the retention price (cost of production).Over and above the retention price subsidy, the equated freight subsidy was introduced to enable the manufacturers to cover the cost of transportation. Economic liberalization Policy had its effect on the fertilizer industry too. Where the government had the move to aim at reducing subsidy and decontrolled all the phosphatic and potassic fertilizers in 1992 the ratio of fertilizer utilization was strained.

The government strategized a long term fertilizer policy to be completed in three different phase, beginning in 2000-01 and ending in 2006-2007.

Phase 1: 2000-01 and 2001-02

Evaluate the possibility of a coal based expertise. Promote joint ventures. Finalize policy on fertilizer pricing and capacity enhancement. Eliminate distribution controls on urea and augment concession scheme to biofertilizers. Evaluate existing capacity. Increase in urea prices from time to time.

Phase II (2002-03-2003-04)

Finalize decision on feedback. Eliminate MRP and encourage productive investment. Reorganize the association between the industry and farmers. Long term strategy of increased capacity. Decide on extent of protection to local industry. Judicious utilization of fertilizer and greater emphasis on eco friendly fertilizer. Establish Fertilizer Policy Planning Board.

Phase III (2004-05-2006-07)

Define government's role in decontrol setup and with respect to policy relating to LNG. Removal of MRP

Size of the industry Indian Fertilizer industry today has succeeded in meeting the demand of all chemical fertilizers over the years. The first manufacturing unit was started by the Indian Fertilizer Industry which was of Single Super Phosphate (SSP) in Ranipet near Chennai with a capacity of 6000 MT a year. India's green revolution in 60’s gave a positive boost to this particular sector. The industry of Fertilizer experienced a faster growth rate and presently India is the third largest fertilizer producer in the world. According to Statistics, total capacity of the industry as in .2003 has reached a level of 121.10 lakh MT of nitrogen (inclusive of an installed capacity of 208.42 lakh MT of urea after reassessment of capacity) and 53.60 lakh MT of phosphatic nutrient.

In India, presently there are 57 large fertilizers plants producing urea, DAP, Complex fertilizer, Ammonium Sulphate (AS) and Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN). There are others also boosting the Industry like the Tranvancore of India Ltd. (FACT) in Cochin, Kerala, and the another one Fertilizers Corporation of India (FCI) in Sindri, Bihar.Both of these were established as pedestal fertilizer units to have self sufficiency in the production of foodgrains. Later the industry gained impetus in its growth due to green revolution. Then followed by seventies and eighties when fertilizer industry witnessed an incredible boom in the fertilizer production.

Latest developments

Indian Fertilizer demand in 2007-08 was 26 MM tons, which went up to 29 MM tons in 2008-09 against a supply of 20 MM tons in 2008-2009.

It is forecasted that the demand for fertilizers in 2011-12 is going to be around 35.5 MM tons. The leading role is to be played by Gujarat in fertilizer production. There is a lot of development going on to meet the demand of fertilizers in the country through

indigenous production, self-reliance in design engineering and execution of fertilizer projects is very crucial. There are consultancies which organize themselves to undertake execution of fertilizer projects starting from concept/designing to commissioning of fertilizer plants in India and abroad.

Many concepts have been developed to carry out research and development / basic research work by mutual understanding between industry and academic institutions, and even there is support from the Department of Fertilizers to sponsor research and development projects through the Indian Institutes of Technology, Delhi and Kharagpur under the Science and even other major institutions in the country

The fertilizer plant operators are now in the position to absorb and assimilate the latest technological developments, incorporating environmental friendly process technologies, and are in a position to operate and maintain the plants at their optimum levels without any foreign assistance and on international standards in terms of capacity utilization, specific energy consumption & pollution standards.

Indian fertilizer industry is carrying out de-bottlenecking and energy saving schemes for the existing plants to enhance the capacity and reduce the specific energy consumption per ton of product.

Today India has developed expertise for fabrication and supply of major and critical equipment such as high-pressure vessels, static and rotating equipment, Distributed Control System (DCS), heat exchangers and hydrolyser for fertilizer projects.

The most significant development/advancement made by the Industry is in the field of manufacturing of catalysts of various ranges by catalyst-manufacturing Organisations like PDIL. PDIL helps in implementing the schemes for enhancement of capacity and technological upgradation in their existing catalyst plant and other utilities at Sindri to compete in the International market.

Fertilizer serves as the key ingredient for the food security of the country, by increasing the production and productivity of the soil. The Industry has set the domestic food grain production target at 320 million tones by 2011-12 from the present production of 210 million tones. This target would only be achieved by higher productivity through improved farming practices, expansion of irrigation, better seeds and extensive and balanced use of fertilizers.

It is more evident from the fact that the highest that the latter has invested is Rs. 151.9 Million, which is much lesser than the former’s lowest investment during the same period i.e. Rs. 12459.7 Million.

2. Sales Turnover

Again, the huge difference in sales turnover of both the companies is clear from this graph. On one hand, National Fertilizers Limited shows a huge turnover, on the other, the turnover of Asian Fertilizers Limited is very less comparatively.

However, there is a difference in the variation as well. As can be seen in the graph, the sales turnover of National Fertilizers Ltd. is showing a steady increase; whereas, the sales turnover of National Fertilisers Limited has been more or less same till 2008, after which it suddenly shows a huge increase in the sales turnover.

3. Wages

Asian Fertilizers Ltd. being a much larger company than National Fertilisers Ltd. has been spending a lot of money on the wages of the workers working there.

However, in the graph we can see that there has been a big dip in the amount spent for wages in the case National Fertilizers Limited, whereas the graph of National Fertilizers limited has been more or less consistent.

4. Cost of Production

Here also, the vast gap between the cost of production for the two companies is clearly illustrated from the graph.

Apart from a couple of small downfalls, the graph for National Fertilizers Ltd. shows a consistent rise in the cost of production; however, in the case of National Fertilizers Limited, we can see that, after a steady increase till 2008, the cost of production suddenly booms up in the period 2009 – 2011.

National Fertilizers LimitedAsian Fertilisers Limited

The profits earned by National Fertilizers Ltd. show huge variation during this period, but never suffered a loss, and also have always been much higher than Asian Fertilizers Ltd.

On the other hand, Asian Fertilizers Ltd. suffered huge losses in the initial period but later emerged from it and earned decent profits.

ConclusionAfter this analysis of two fertilizer companies i.e. National Fertilizers Ltd. (Public Sector) and Asian Fertilizers Ltd. (Private Sector), we can conclude that each of them is currently doing well in their respective fields. Though they faced initial ups and downs, but slowly and steadily, they have been moving to achieve their goals. They increased their productivity, wages, sales and ultimately their profits.

In either case, the world's economists now have an example of an economy that did not have

remarkably favorable initial conditions but that has sustained rapid economic growth over

two decades. To those for whom the East Asian miracle seemed out of reach--for whom the

advice to emulate South Korea seemed so unattainable as to lead to despair--advice to

emulate India may well prove more useful.
