Gujrat State Fertilizers & Chemical Limited

Gujarat's Pride - Nation's Strength

The facet of care can be expressed in thought and action. And since its beginning, in 1962, GSFC has consistently translated the facet of care in its every activity. Unfolding before you is the epic of the Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd, an organization, in the annals of Indian Corporate history, founded on the single minded principle of offering the best to the customer.

GSFC is taking its philosophy of care and extending it to every facet of its existence, employees, suppliers, services, society and even the environment.

In offering its care to an even larger section of society, GSFC has transcended the boundaries of the ordinary to be able to truly fulfil its goal of being “Basic to India’s Progress”.

Initially with the quality structure, comprising of 49% of State Government participation and 51% of Public and Financial Institutions, today the Government’s involvement has come down to 38.4%.

As an organization formed for supporting the farmers, GSFC’s every act revolves around the avowed goal of “not only selling fertilizers, but also offering happiness.” Translating this belief has been the constant standard that its every act must measure up to.

1967 –The Genesis
Translating GSFC's philosophy is its vast network of plants that make its possible. This infrastructure took its first step in 1967 with the setting up of 6 plants with an initial investment of Rs. 40 Crores.

These six nitrogenous and phosphatic fertilizer plants started production of Ammonia, Urea, Ammonia Sulphate (AS), Diammonium Phosphate(DAP), Sulphuric Acid and Phosphoric Acid.

1969 – First Expansion
The expansion of Ammonia and Urea production began with Phase II in 1969 and an investment of Rs. 23 Crores was made to meet the increasing demand for Nitrogenous fertilizers.

1974 - Phase III
Phase III began in 1974 when diversification of products occurred.

Plants to manufacture Caprolactam, Melamine, Nylon-6, Oleum- SO₂ and OXO-Synthesis Gas unit and Purge Gas Recovery Unit were set up.

With Phase III, GSFC became India's first & only Melamine producer. This provided the boost for further diversification to Nylons / Fibers / Melamine / MEK-Oxime and industrial gases like Argon Gas & Oxo Synthesis Gas.

1989 - Further expansion and diversification
Three Co-generation units using LSHS and Natural Gas were set up. Also further expansion of Ammonia and Caprolactam production was initiated. Diversification into Fibers, Nylons, and Acrylic was completed and a DAP plant was also set up.

This extensive diversification and expansion drive has been fuelled by GSFC's compelling need to ensure full utilization of available resources while also maintaining its profitability and leadership status.
