Transforming India’s Fertilizer Segment with Responsibility & Purpose

For over five decades, Southern Petrochemical Industries Corporation (SPIC) has stood as a dependable pillar in India’s fertiliser industry.

From the early days of the Green Revolution to providing the sector with a firm foundation for ‘Viksit Bharat’, we have evolved to address the changing needs of the agricultural industry. We have remained nimble and adapted to change, from continuously modernising our manufacturing facilities to various innovations like producing green (neem-coated) fertilisers.

Besides supporting Indian farmers with quality agri-nutrients and sustainable farming solutions, SPIC is also known for contributing to the development of the sector by bringing cutting-edge knowledge and innovation directly to the fields. Further, SPIC’s active involvement in contemporary industry forums is a reflection of its steady engagement in shaping a more productive and sustainable fertiliser landscape.

One example is the company’s participation in the Management Development Programme organised by the Fertilizer Association of India (FAI) – Southern Region, under the theme “Need for Paradigm Shift in Fertiliser Policies.” The event gathered senior professionals across the sector to explore challenges, policy reforms, and the future roadmap of India’s fertiliser industry.

SPIC, along with Greenstar Fertilizers—another key agri-input brand under AM International—were represented at the event with ten participants from their technical and marketing teams. Held in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, the platform enabled rich discussions and cross-functional learning among industry peers.

A standout moment was the technical presentation on “Improving the Efficiencies of Fertilizer Production.” The insights struck a chord with the audience, emphasising the growing importance of resource optimisation and regulatory clarity. The session highlighted practical ways to enhance production efficiency. It underlined the need for a more collaborative and forward-looking policy ecosystem.

SPIC’s key message during the session was on how the fertiliser sector, perhaps more than any other, relies on collective advancement—whether through shared technological progress, or cohesive advocacy for regulatory reforms. It reinforced the notion that collaboration is beneficial and essential to meet the growing demands of Indian agriculture.

A Committed Partner in the Evolution of India’s Fertilizer Sector

Recognition by reputed platforms such as FAI is encouraging and grounding, even as India’s fertiliser sector witnesses a considerable transformation. It reflects SPIC’s continued relevance and adaptability, built on years of consistent service and commitment to the Indian farmer. Such opportunities allow its teams to contribute to and learn from broader industry dialogues. As the sector looks ahead to more integrated, technology-driven solutions, SPIC remains focused on enabling farmer prosperity and strengthening India’s food security. And in doing so, it quietly reaffirms its place as a committed partner in the country’s agricultural progress.
