Coromandel Doubles Sulphur Manufacturing Capacity in Visakhapatnam.

Coromandel International Limited, a leading agri-solutions provider, has inaugurated its second sulphur manufacturing plant at its Visakhapatnam facility in Andhra Pradesh, doubling its production capacity to 50,000 tonnes.

The Visakhapatnam facility produces around 12 lakh tonnes of complex fertilisers, along with phosphoric acid and sulphuric acid. It also houses an existing sulphur fertiliser plant with a capacity of 25,000 tonnes.

Sulphur is a vital nutrient for plant growth, playing a key role in protein synthesis, enzyme function, and overall crop productivity. The newly launched plant is equipped with advanced German technology and the ability to enhance sulphur fertilisers with multiple micronutrients.

“Over the next 4-5 years, this plant will play a crucial role in effectively meeting the growing demand for Bentonite Sulphur fertilisers across the country,” said S Sankarasubramanian, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Coromandel International Limited, in a statement on Thursday.
