BHUBANESWAR: The Rs 13,200- crore Talcher Fertiliser Limited (TFL) project is likely to be completed by September 2024, ayear behind schedule, Union minister of state for chemicals and fertilizers, Bhagwanth Khuba, informed the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday.
The project is an attempt to revive the shut fertiliser plant there. China’s Wuhuan Engineering Company Limited (WECL) is executing the project, the foundation of which was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in September 2018. In reply to a question by BJD’s Sasmit Patra, Khuba said the project has been delayed by at least 12 months primarily owing to Covid-19.
