Speaking to reporters, Mandaviya also said that India will not need to import urea by 2025-end as the domestic production of conventional urea and nano liquid urea is expected to be sufficient to meet the country’s annual demand.
“Nano Urea is widely being accepted by the farmers. It is noted that approximately 390 lakh Nano Urea bottles have been dispatched to different parts of the country. Out of which 287 lakh Nano Urea have been sold out which is equivalent to approx. 13 LMT of conventional urea,” he said.
