Coromandel commissions sulphuric acid plant in Vizag

Agri input solution provider Coromandel International on Wednesday commissioned a sulphuric acid plant at its fertiliser complex in Visakhapatnam.

A move aimed at strengthening its backward integration capabilities towards driving self-sufficiency in operations, the plant is the third such at the complex in the port city and set up with an investment of ₹400 crore. The new facility, with a production capacity of 1,650 tonnes per day, will increase Coromandel’s sulphuric acid capacity to 11 lakh tonnes per annum from 6 lakh tonnes per annum.

The facility, which was inaugurated by executive vice-chairman Arun Alagappan, will support the requirement towards downstream processes involving phosphoric acid and phosphatic fertiliser production, the company said in a release.
