ONGC is planning to set up a urea fertiliser manufacturing unit in North Tripura district.
The Rs 5,000-crore plant may come up at Khobal considering its close proximity to the Khobal gas field from where the natural gas (hydro carbon) will be supplied. In 2011, ONGC had discovered huge gas reserves at Khobal, near the Assam-Agartala National Highway (NH-44). The plant will cater to the demand for urea fertiliser in Tripura as well as for the entire north-east region.
