GNFC, Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals, is a Bharuch-based Indian producer of urea, nitrophosphate and chemicals, founded in 1976.
India · Joint sector enterprise promoted by the Government of Gujarat
Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited, or GNFC, is based in Bharuch, Gujarat. It was established in 1976 as a joint sector enterprise promoted by the Government of Gujarat and by Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals, GSFC. Although GSFC helped found it, GNFC is a separate company. Beside fertilisers it runs chemicals and petrochemicals businesses and has worked in energy, electronics, telecommunications and information technology.
For farmers, GNFC's own production centres on urea and nitrophosphate 20-20-0. Urea is the standard nitrogen fertiliser for most field crops, while 20-20-0 supplies nitrogen and phosphorus in equal parts, useful as a basal dose at sowing. The company also trades other fertilisers. Its Narmada Khedut Sahay Kendras outlets sell agricultural inputs and give farmers advice in the same place.
Size of the business
In FY2025/26 GNFC sold 619,000 tonnes of urea and 173,000 tonnes of nitrophosphate 20-20-0. These are the sales volumes of those two products, not of the whole business.
Are GNFC and GSFC the same company name?
No. They are separate companies, although GSFC helped to establish GNFC. Their full names help to tell them apart.
What matters when buying the 20-20-0 product?
The things that matter are the full specification, the declared nutrient forms and the intended use of the specific grade.
