Shri Sunil Tatkare on Rejuvenation of Ammonia and Urea Plant

The newly appointed Member of Parliament of Raigad constituency Honourable Mr Sunil Tatkare is seeking the attention of the Government towards diverse and unique matters. He has been very active and energetic in the sessions and also being appreciated for his performance on different social media pages. During the supplementary question session in parliament, he triggered the issue related to the Ammonia and Urea project at Thal, Alibaug, District Raigad. He requested the Government to rejuvenate this project by convincing its importance and he also acknowledged with a positive response on this proposal.

Mr Sunil Tatkare presented the importance of Ammonia and Urea project in his brief speech. He explained that India has been the biggest consumer of Urea and Indian farmers consume 32–31 Lakhs Tons of Urea every year. Out of which only 24 Lakhs Tons of Urea is produced in India and remaining is imported from other countries. It is necessary that our country should be independent with reference to the Urea production. The NCP President, Honourable Mr Sharad Pawar presented this fact while he was the Chief Minister of Maharashtra at the age of 38.

Mr Sunil Tatkare supported his query with the help of underlying research data and inputs. Mr Sunil Tatkare further added that the Central Government is positive towards rejuvenating fertilizers projects in Eastern India through Sick Unit Revival Plan (SURP) and the Central Government has planned to invest 7.8 Million Dollars for this scheme. Mr Tatkare raised concern over this matter inquiring that if the proposal is sanctioned, will it consider the proposed plant of ammonia and urea at Thal in Alibaug, with a budget cost of Rs 5530 Crore. Due to the effective and research-based query raised by Honourable Mr Tatkare, he was replied positively by the cabinet. As a result of this, we can expect another power-packed project in the form of Ammonia and Urea plant in Raigad district in the near future.

Development perspective has been the most important character of the leadership of Honourable Mr Sunil Tatkare. He has an extensive development vision with reference to Konkan and Raigad area development. Before the 2019 election, he had asked the masses to provide him one opportunity as a Member of Parliament and this opportunity will be utilised to set an example of the progress in the area and now Mr Tatkare has initiated his new inning as a Member of Parliament just now and is trying to fulfil his promise. If the Raigad district gets one more project in the form of Ammonia and Urea plant, it will lead to additional employment opportunities for the locals. Moreover, it will also help to make our country independent in Urea production. Mr Sunil Tatkare’s political career and leadership have always been praised for his captivating performance in politics. Last but not least, it also assures that the people have chosen the right representative to represent their constituency at the national level.
