New Delhi, Apr 10: IFFCO, India’s largest fertilizer cooperative on Friday officially launched the Nano Fertilizer Awareness Mega Campaign. Addressing a press conference, Chairman Dileep Sanghani said this is a comprehensive national campaign to promote use of nano fertilizers among Indian farmers.
The campaign has been initiated with the inspiration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah, in alignment with national missions such as “Atmanirbhar Bharat” and “Sahkar Se Samriddhi.”
The inclusion of Nano NPK Liquid (8-8-10) and Nano NPK Granular (20-10-10) in the Fertilizer Control Order (FCO) is a significant milestone in India’s agricultural innovation journey.
IFFCO’s innovation hub at IFFCO-Nanoventions in Coimbatore and the upcoming nano fertilizer plant in Brazil, expected to be operational by June 2026, highlight India’s growing global strength in nano technology in agriculture.
Sanghani stated that India is at a historic point where tradition and technology are coming together to reshape agriculture. The campaign reflects the vision of “Sahkar Se Samriddhi” and supports the goal of self-reliant agriculture.
He described the nano fertilizer revolution as a transformative moment for Indian agriculture.
The campaign focuses on four key objectives: promoting the use of Nano Urea Plus, Nano DAP, Nano NPK, Nano Zinc, and Nano Copper; training farmers in proper foliar spray application; reducing dependence on conventional fertilizers; and ensuring last-mile outreach through cooperative networks.
He emphasized that awareness must be driven at the grassroots level through PACS and field demonstrations so that farmers can see results and build trust.
In his concluding remarks, Sanghani called for making the campaign a mass movement. He said nano fertilizers are not just products but tools to protect soil, improve the environment, and increase farmers’ income.
He urged everyone to adopt the vision of lower cost, higher productivity, and a healthier environment, stating that nano fertilizers in every field represent the future of a self-reliant India.
IFFCO has recorded sales of over 21.8 million bottles of Nano Urea Plus Liquid and 6.426 million bottles of Nano DAP Liquid. Nano Zinc and Nano Copper have also achieved strong first-year sales of 5.7 million and 0.2 million bottles respectively.
Notably, 20.826 million bottles of Nano Urea Plus are equivalent to 0.937 million metric tonnes of conventional urea, while 5.789 million bottles of Nano DAP are equivalent to 0.289 million metric tonnes of DAP, resulting in major savings in logistics, energy, and import costs.
IFFCO’s nano product range includes Nano Urea Plus, Nano DAP, Nano NPK (Liquid and Granular), Nano Zinc, Nano Copper, and the bio-stimulant “DharaAmrut,” which is enriched with amino acids, alginic acid, humic acid, essential minerals, and banana extract, and is gaining popularity among farmers.
For FY 2025–26, IFFCO’s profit before tax is expected to exceed ₹4,200 crore. Through continued innovation in nano technology, drone technology, AI, and data analytics, IFFCO is playing a key role in transforming India’s agriculture sector.
The event was held at IFFCO Sadan, New Delhi, in the presence of Managing Director Mr. K. J. Patel, board members, officials, and employees.
