Assam Cabinet passes resolution appreciating PM Modi’s support for Namrup fertilizer plant

The Assam government has extended its appreciation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Union Cabinet for approving the much-anticipated Namrup IV Fertilizer Plant project. During the weekly cabinet meeting on Thursday, March 20 the Assam Cabinet unanimously passed a resolution expressing its gratitude to the central government.

On March 19, 2025, the Union Cabinet, under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, sanctioned the establishment of a Brownfield Ammonia-Urea Complex at Namrup. The plant will have an annual production capacity of 12.7 Lakh Metric Tonnes (LMT) of urea, with an estimated project cost of ₹10,601.40 crore.

Acknowledging this significant development, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma shared on X (formerly Twitter), “The #AssamCabinet unanimously passed a resolution thanking Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji and the Union Cabinet for approving the ₹10,601cr Namrup Fertilizer Plant.”

The Namrup IV project is expected to strengthen domestic urea production, particularly benefiting the North-East, Bihar, West Bengal, Eastern Uttar Pradesh, and Jharkhand. Designed as an energy-efficient facility, the plant is projected to create substantial direct and indirect employment opportunities while fostering economic growth. Additionally, it will play a crucial role in enhancing India's self-reliance in fertilizer production and bolstering agricultural development.
