Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Indian GovernmentcoreOthers · 1 January 2026The Indian government is considering roping in GSFC to produce technical-grade urea (TGU) used in diesel exhaust fluid. This follows disruptions in Gulf supply chains due to the West Asia conflict. India has manufacturing capacity of 1.5 lakh tonnes annually against the automotive industry's requirement of 6 lakh tonnes.
• Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers and Chemicals (GNFC)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerGSFC owns a 19.80% stake in GNFC. GNFC is currently the sole technical-grade urea (TGU) producer in India. GSFC has developed 35 metric tonne per day TGU capacity since 2020, positioning the partnership as a strategic arrangement to boost domestic automotive-grade urea supply.
• Gujarat Tourism and Transport DepartmentsminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerGSFC backed an initiative to refurbish autorickshaws in Vadnagar as mobile showcases of heritage and culture, supporting the town's tourism appeal. Rs 50,000 allocated for retrofitting each of the 21 autorickshaws initially involved in the project.

• Mangalore Chemicals and Fertilizers: Mangalore Chemicals is a urea and complex fertilizer producer serving Indian agriculture. It is comparable to GSFC as a domestic nitrogen fertilizer manufacturer competing for the same farmer customer base.
• Chambal Fertilizers and Chemicals: Chambal Fertilizers is among India's largest urea producers and a direct competitor in nitrogen fertilizers, sharing the same subsidy-driven distribution model and Indian farmer customer base as GSFC.
• Deepak Fertilisers and Petrochemicals Corporation: Deepak Fertilisers produces nitrogenous fertilizers, technical-grade ammonium nitrate, and petrochemicals. It is comparable to GSFC across both the fertilizer and industrial chemicals businesses.
• Coromandel International: Coromandel International is one of India's largest private-sector fertilizer manufacturers, producing nitrogenous and phosphatic fertilizers plus crop protection chemicals. It directly competes with GSFC in Indian agricultural fertilizer markets.
