Nano urea offers improved efficiency in nutrient uptake and provides slower nitrogen release compared to conventional urea. The product is considered more environmentally sustainable as it reduces nitrogen loss to the atmosphere in the form of greenhouse gases.
The expansion into nano urea production aligns with NFL’s broader strategy to diversify its agricultural business portfolio. The company maintains a strong market presence in fertilizers, seeds, and crop protection products, and has been expanding its offering to include alternative fertilizers suited for Indian soil conditions.
