The Indian fertilizer industry has been rising by leaps and bounds in last few years, though for some period of time the sluggish growth lead to the downfall of this industry. But as the agricultural scenario improved the industry has bounced back immensely and there are many fertilizer companies in India which are strongly following the growth momentum.
Though there are many fertilizers and chemical companies in India but some of them are leading by example and are acting as a major growth driver for the agriculture. The period from 1994 to 2004 witnessed a dip in prices of the fertilizers due to less demand and more production but the scenario changed in 2008 and the prices started rising to acceptable levels and eventually all the industrial houses engaged in the fertilizers production balanced their production in accordance with the demand.
