Note: India still will need a lot of urea, and new projects are needed, and a coal-based plant is already under construction at Talcher. So another project can ride on the benchmark for subsidy payments etc settled for the first one. It will make business sense, unless of course, coal goes completely out of fashion as it may for power plants, but is unlikely for a value-added project, such as a urea plant.
