Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers Limited (RCF) a Government of India Undertaking
is a leading fertilizer and chemical manufacturing company with about 80% of its equity
held by the Government of India. It has two operating units, one at Trombay in Mumbai
and the other at Thal, Raigad district, about 100 KM from Mumbai. Government of India
has accorded "Mini-Ratna" status to RCF.
RCF is one of the earliest units set up in the country with a vision of growth in fertilizer
production for food security. It manufactures Urea, Complex Fertilizers, Bio-fertilizers,
Micro-nutrients, 100 per cent water soluble fertilizers, soil conditioners and a wide range
of Industrial Chemicals. It produces 23 lac MT Urea, 6.5 lac MT Complex fertilizers and
1.6 lac MT of Industrial Chemicals every year. The company is a household name in rural
India with brands "Ujjwala" (urea) and "Suphala" (complex fertilizers) which carry a
high brand equity. RCF has countrywide marketing network in all major states. Apart
from the own manufactured products, the Company is also engaged in marketing of SSP
and imported fertilizer inputs like, DAP, MOP & NPK fertilizers. Besides fertilizer
products, RCF also produces almost twenty industrial chemicals that are important for the
manufacture of dyes, solvents, leather, pharmaceuticals and a host of other industrial
products.

Chemicals essential for every industry from food and drugs to Synthetic fibres, from
textiles and cement to pesticides and paints; from explosives to specialty solvents and dye
stock are produced by RCF. RCF also pioneered the manufacture of basic chemicals such
a Methanol, Ammonia, Ammonium Nitrate, Sodium Nitrate, Sodium Nitrite, Ammonium
Bicarbonate, Methylamines, Dimethyl Formamide and Dimethyl acetamide, Formic Acid,
Argon in India. Today RCF is the only manufacturer of Dimethyl Formamide in India.
RCF has always striven for upkeep of the plants through modernizing and upgrading
technology. Revamping and de-bottlenecking is the secret that has kept the company
thriving for five decades. As part of modernization, RCF has recently modernized its
Ammonia I, Nitric Acid, Methanol and ANP plants. This has facilitated plants to sustain
operations and meet technological challenges of improved efficiency, lower energy
consumption and maintain environmental norms. It has also resulted in company
achieving the highest standards of safety and product quality.
Safety is paramount important factor of RCF work culture. Safety work culture is always
practiced in RCF. Depending upon the job scope and sensitivity of job, Safety Work
Permits (Class I and Class II) are issued for carrying out the job. Training of safety
practices, use of Personal Protective Equipment, rescue operations, fire fighting methods
are imparted not only to RCF personnel but also to the contractor personnel in various
training sessions including refresher courses. RCF also has a disaster management plan in
place in case of exigencies.
At the root of every successful product and project is a strong R&D base and its sound
planning, innovative ideas and perfect project management. Product development is a
continuous process at RCF. Advanced technical equipment and highly skilled technicians
enhance the values of innovation.
Since inception, RCF has successfully and safely operated two dozen chemical and
fertilizer plants for the past five decades at Trombay. The Company has operated plants at
Thal for last thirty years and maintained the quality of environment. This itself has been a
huge challenge and demonstrates company's commitment towards environment and
concern about the neighbourhood. RCF has spent more than Rs. 400 crore over the years
in various pollution abatement and environment improvement schemes. This includes
massive drive for tree plantation under "Chembur Green" Project. Complete transparency
is maintained by the Company in dissemination of environment related data and
information. Through four dedicated continuous Ambient Air Monitoring Systems
located around the boundary of the factory, real time emission levels are displayed
through an illuminated board placed at the entrance of the factory for public viewing. No
wonder that the company is maintaining ISO 14000 accreditation for environment since
fifteen years. Both the manufacturing units are accredited with ISO 9000 for quality and
OHSAS 18000 for Occupational Health and Safety.
RCF also strongly believes in discharging its Corporate Social Responsibility diligently
with an objective to benefit the needy and for general good of the society. A host of CSR

efforts, the company has adopted 63 villages in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra
Pradesh for overall development, a program that has brought about qualitative changes in
the economic status of the farmers and people of various professions in the village.
RCF believes in providing one stop shop to farmers by marketing its own products and
procuring other products for farmers through imports or tie-ups with other manufacturers.
Though the manufacturing plants are distributed in two locations within Maharashtra,
RCF markets its products throughout the length and breadth of the country with its
products reaching even the far off north eastern states of India.
To promote balanced use of fertilizers for improving the farm productivity and also to
help in maintaining soil health, RCF has established 12 (twelve) static Soil Testing
Laboratories (STL) in the country at strategic locations, namely Mumbai, Kolhapur,
Nagpur, Ahmednagar, Hassan, Vijaywada, Chandikhole, Kolar, Suryapet, Raipur, Nanded
and Satara, covering the soil testing activity in the districts around these STLs. In
addition to the static STLs, the Company also operates 6 (six) Mobile Soil Testing Labs.
This service is rendered free of cost to farmers. Since last 40 years, RCF has analysed
more than 50 lakh soil samples.
RCF has sought to bridge the gap between Research Scientist and the farmer by setting
up dedicated Farmer Training Centres at Nagpur and Thal. RCF publishes a monthly farm
magazine which started in 1967 and was called "Trombay Sheti Patrika". This farm
magazine is now renamed as "RCF Sheti Patrika". Sheti Patrika disseminates latest
agricultural information & practices to the farming community. This magazine is
distributed free of cost to the farmers and presently it has a readership of over 1.50 lakh
farmers. The Company has also introduced a "Toll Free Helpline 1800 22 3044" service
through which the farmers can get advice and suggestions on their agriculture and
farming related queries.
The Company is poised for growth through implementation of major projects which will
help reduce the demand-supply gap of fertilizer in the country. Company is engaged in
developing a project for 1.27 million MT Urea plant at Thal and another of 1.27 million
MT Urea plant based on coal gasification at Talcher. Apart from the proposed fertilizer
projects in India, RCF is looking for opportunities for setting up Joint Venture Projects in
resource rich countries.
RCF does what it commits. The commitment is translated in a written document the
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Government of India. The performance is
evaluated independently by the Department of Public Enterprises. RCF has been

Fertilizers
Suphala(15:15:15)

RCF produces two grades of complex fertilizers at its Trombay unit.

They are commonly known as Suphala, which has almost become a generic name for
NP/NPK complexes in the farming households of the country.

Ujwala Urea(46%)

RCFs Ujjwala urea is a chemical fertilizer produced in white round prill

form containing 46% nitrogen. It is 100% water soluble and is suitable for any type of
soil or crop. It can be applied through sowing, broadcasting or spraying. Ujjwala urea
should be applied to different crops in two to three split doses.

Biola(PSB)

This multifaceted bio-fertilizer solublizes the fixed phosphorus in the soil and makes
it available to the crops. Bacteria multiply very fast in the soil and this helps to
improve the texture and structure of the soil. This also helps to enhance the growth
of the crops and also induces resistance against various pests and diseases.

Sujala 19:19:19

Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd, manufactures 100% water soluble fertilizers
containing all the three major plant nutrients i.e. Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potash for
crops grown in green houses as well as other field crops. Sujala is available in two forms
Foilar grade and drip grade.

Microla(Micronutrients)

Over a period of years, we have been cultivating different crops in the field
which has resulted in the depletion of essential micro-nutrients in the soil. This has in
turn affected the productivity of the soil. This fact has also been validated in the soil
analysis reports drawn over a period of time indicating that the micronutrients in the soils
are on the decline, resulting in lowering the quality and yields of the crops.

NDT Services
R.C.F. is a giant fertilizer company in India & also has number of plants
for different industrial products. Both the units are accredited with ISO
