Mangalore Chemicals & Fertilizers Limited

Mangalore Chemicals & Fertilizers Limited is a part of The UB Group, a large and diversified Indian business house. The Group is one of the foremost multinational organizations based in the sub-continent with operations in many world markets. It has diverse interests - brewing, distilling, fertilizers, life sciences, engineering and information technology.

Mangalore Chemicals and Fertilizers Limited (MCF), with a turnover of over Rs.1000 crore, is the only manufacturer of chemical fertilizers in the state of Karnataka. The factory is strategically located at Panambur, 9 kms north of Mangalore City, on the banks of the Gurpur River, in front of the New Mangalore Port. The plant is well connected, both by rail and road. The West Coast National Highway (NH-l7) from Kochi to Mumbai separates MCF from the New Mangalore Port.

The commissioning of the sulphuric acid plant will enhance the company's captive sulphuric acid production, ensuring a reliable supply of key raw material for fertilizer manufacturing. This development reduces import dependence and improves operational efficiency while enabling effective utilization of waste heat.

The project is expected to generate around 1,05,000 tonnes of high pressure steam from non-fossil fuel energy per annum from process waste heat. This will replace equivalent quantity of steam generation from fossil fuel, achieving a sustainable milestone in reducing carbon footprint by reducing 19,000 tonnes of CO2 emission annually.
