India · Part of the KK Birla Group
Chambal Fertilisers and Chemicals Limited is an Indian fertiliser company in the KK Birla Group, originally promoted by Zuari Industries Limited. Its manufacturing base is the Gadepan complex in Kota district, Rajasthan, where it makes urea for agriculture. The company combines this production with a commercial network that sells a wider range of farm inputs, so it works both as a manufacturer and as a distributor.
Urea is a concentrated nitrogen fertiliser used on cereals and many other crops. Chambal's agri-inputs division serves the northern, central and western regions of India and aims to provide all agri-products through a single window: dealers offer urea alongside DAP, MOP, SSP, crop protection products and specialty plant nutrients under the Uttam umbrella brand. Part of this range comes from outside suppliers, so the Uttam name marks Chambal's distribution rather than its own manufacture in every case.
Size of the business
Chambal has combined annual urea capacity of about 3.4 million tonnes across three plants at Gadepan, commissioned in 1994, 1999 and 2019. This is production capacity, not sales in a given year.
Is Uttam a separate manufacturer?
No. Uttam is Chambal's umbrella brand for the fertilisers and crop protection products it sells.
Are all its fertilisers manufactured at Gadepan?
No. Gadepan makes urea, and the company also sells fertilisers sourced from other suppliers.
