The Phosphate Company Limited, established in 1949, is a key player in the farm inputs sector, specializing in fertilizers, crop protection, specialty nutrients, and organic compost. Its manufacturing facility is situated in Rishra, West Bengal. The company is renowned for producing Single Super Phosphate (SSP) fertilizer, a cost-effective, nutrient-rich product containing phosphorus, sulfur, calcium, and other minor nutrients. As the oldest SSP manufacturer in Eastern India, the company markets its fertilizers under the 'Lakshmi Brand,' a preferred choice among farmers.
In 2016, The Phosphate Company Limited expanded its operations by acquiring Abhinandan Goods Pvt. Ltd., transforming it into a wholly-owned subsidiary. This strategic move involved transferring portions of land and infrastructure to the subsidiary to enhance its agro-input business, which includes pesticides, herbicides, and plant nutrients. This expansion reflects the company's commitment to diversifying its product offerings and strengthening its position in the agricultural sector.
