Talcher Fertilizers Limited (TFL) Recruitment 2025 - Sarkari Naukri

In 1971, The Fertilizer Corporation of India Ltd. (FCIL), set up Talcher Unit over an area of 902 acres in the district of Angul, Odisha which is located about 126 km away from Bhubaneswar to produce urea using coal as feedstock. Licensor for the Coal gasification was M/s Krupp Koppers, Germany, and for Ammonia and Urea units Ammonia synthesis, was M/s Tecnimont, Italy.

Commercial Production of Ammonia and Urea commenced on 01.11.1980 with Ammonia and Urea production capacities of 900 and 1500 Tons per day respectively. However, due to frequent power restrictions, obsolete and mismatch of technology, and precarious steam balance the plant could not be sustained. The Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) declared the FCIL sick in 1992 and in 2002 Government of India initiated actions to close the company.
