ICL opens specialty fertiliser plant in India

ICL Group has opened a new specialty fertiliser production facility in Maharashtra, India, as geopolitical disruption to global shipping routes intensifies pressure on fertiliser supply chains.

The plant will produce Water Soluble Fertilizers (WSF), replicating ICL’s existing production model in Israel. It spans approximately seven acres (28,000 square metres) and is designed to deliver the same product range currently exported from Israel to the Indian market. India’s WSF market has demonstrated high single-digit compound annual growth in recent years, according to customs import data cited by ICL.
