Soda Ash Industry in 2009
Global Capacity increased by 7% to 61 Million MT – Main contributor was China
• By the end of 2009, China’s total soda ash production capacity stood at 24.6 Million tonnes/year of which domestic consumption was 17.2 Million tonnes.

Sluggish economic recovery in the traditional big two soda ash markets of Europe and US Chinese exports into India were affected by the Indian government's extension of its 16% safeguard duty. Domestic demand for Soda ash grew by 8%

Outlook for the Soda Ash Industry
Recovery expected in the global automotive market, however construction sector still bleak. Emerging market demand, particularly for flat glass and detergents, will continue to be the growth driver, but growth rates are forecast to be lower. Domestic demand will be driven by growth in the detergent industry Upward movements in Soda ash prices expected in 2010 Aggressive capacity additions by China and Turkey could hurt global industry fundamentals

Indian Fertilizer Industry: Overview
• Fertiliser consumption has increased 20 fold since independence. • This remains one of the few highly regulated industries in India • The Fertilizer subsidy was Rs 99,494.71 crore in FY 2008-09, which came down by about 36% to Rs 64,032.30 crore in FY 2009-10. • Presently, India consumes 50 MMT (product) or 25 MMT (nutrient) of fertiliser. • Domestic capacities -stagnant during the past decade • 35% of total demand being met through imports.

Fertilizer Sector - India

Urea : Government Policies
Retention Pricing Scheme (RPS) : • Introduced in 1997 to reconcile :increasing cost of fertilisers and need to keep prices low. • Restriction on offtake of urea from plants exceeding (115%) capacity utilisation. • Now being replaced by New Pricing Scheme. Distribution policy : • Urea comes under the purview of Essential Commodities Act (ECA) 1955. • Upto 50% of a state’s allocation of urea is reserved for farmers’ co-operatives. • If a manufacturer exceeds the state quota, the excess quantity does not qualify for price subsidy & transport subsidy. • GOI policy shift from product based subsidy to a nutrient based subsidy (effective April 2010.) Import policy : • Imports on a restricted list. • Price and subsidies are fixed in such a way that the farmgate prices for imported and domestic fertilisers are more or less the same.
