UREA FIRMS UNFAZED BY UNITS CLOSURE
Article Abstract:
The 12 gas-based urea plants along the HBJ gas pipeline have been forced to close their units, since 17 September, 1998, following floods in the pumping station in Surat. But these closures are unlikely to affect gas-based urea companies, as there is a surplus stock of 25 lakh tonnes in north Indian states. The 12 gas-based urea units have a combined production capacity of 25,000 tonnes of urea per day. The closure will result in a loss of 1.5 lakh tonnes over the next six days. (gs)

The closure of steel units will render a loss of Rs70 crore per month to the Punjab State Electricity Board. The Board had increased power tariff rates to reduce the loss of about Rs1,100 crore per annum incurred by it. (khr)
