With the commissioning of the new facility at its Kakinada complex, Coromandel has forayed into new generation fertilisers, which could potentially revolutionise Indian agriculture.

The new nano fertilizer plant has fully automated production line including robotic arm for bottling operations. It has the capacity to produce one crore bottles of Nano fertilisers per annum and can be scaled up for higher volumes besides producing multiple range of nano fertilisers.

Coromandel has developed Nano fertilisers like Nano DAP and Nano Urea through its in-house Research and Development (R&D) center at IIT Bombay-Monash Research Academy. The nano-sized fertiliser particles have the potential to replace the conventional fertilisers and increase the crop yield. The company markets Nano fertilisers under the brand name of 'Gromor Nano DAP' and 'Gromor Nano Urea'. Coromandel International had also set up a Nano Technology Center at Coimbatore to focus on Nano application in agriculture and ensure quality for Nano range of products.
