ICL opens new specialty fertilizer production facility in India

ICL (ICL) announced the opening of a new specialty fertilizer production facility in Maharashtra, India. The launch comes at a critical time for India, which relies heavily on fertilizer imports and is now facing supply disruptions due to the latest geopolitical instability and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. These delays are already affecting fertilizer availability worldwide. This new facility supports the Government of India’s “Make in India” initiative. By manufacturing Water Soluble Fertilizers, or WSF, within India, ICL aims to reduce dependence on cross-border supply chains, diversify production routes and ensure more reliable access to essential agricultural inputs. The plant will produce advanced Water Soluble Fertilizers solutions, that enable precise nutrient delivery and higher agronomic efficiency. The new facility will span approximately seven acres and will replicate ICL’s advanced production model currently operating in Israel.
