The government has unveiled a Green Urea roadmap aimed at shifting fertilizer manufacturing toward cleaner, more sustainable processes.
The framework envisages using green energy in the production of urea to reduce reliance on conventional chemical methods and lower the environmental footprint of the sector. It forms part of broader efforts to align industrial production with clean energy goals.
Urea is among the most widely used fertilizers in Indian agriculture, and its production is energy-intensive. A transition to greener manufacturing could help cut emissions while supporting long-term self-reliance in fertilizer supply.
The roadmap signals the government’s intent to integrate sustainability into a strategically important industry, though its impact will depend on the pace of investment and the availability of green energy inputs.
