RFCL Resumes Urea Production After 46-Day Halt
A fertilizer plant in Telangana, called RFCL, has started making urea again after being closed for a month and a half.
The plant had to stop making urea on August 14 to fix some machines.
Now, the plant is back to work but is only making about 70% of what it usually does.
This closure caused a shortage of urea that farmers needed for their crops.
The factory's boss and workers worked hard to fix the machines, and now farmers hope they will get enough urea for the next planting season.
The government is working to ensure that the state receives its share of the urea.
RFCL in Peddapalli, Telangana, has restarted urea production after a 46-day shutdown.
The plant was closed for repairs to the machinery.
Production had been halted on August 14.
The closure caused shortages impacting Telangana farmers.
The Union Ministry of Fertilisers and Chemicals determines the final urea allocation.
