CATEGORISATION OF FERTILIZER PRODUCING
UNITS
LOK SABHA
Under the new pricing scheme made effective from
1.4.2003, the urea units have been placed in six groups based
on vintage and feedstock, for determining the group based concession
rates. These groups are: pre-1992 gas based units, post- 1992
gas based units, pre – 1992 naphtha based units, post - 1992 naphtha
based units, Fuel Oil/Low Sulphur Heavy Stock (FO/LSHS) based
units and mixed energy based units. The mixed energy based group
shall include such gas-based units that use alternative feedstock/fuel
to the extent of more than 25 per cent as admissible on 1.4.2002.
Production capacity and utilization of production
capacity of the urea units is given in the enclosed Annexure.
Under the Retention Price Scheme which was
in existence till 31.3.2003, the retention price (cost of production
as assessed by the Government plus 12 per cent post tax return
on net worth) of the urea units used to be determined unit-wise,
which differed from unit to unit depending upon the technology,
feedstock used etc. The weighted average retention price for the
above-mentioned categories of urea units as on 1.4.2002 is as
given in the table below.
