  • TAN plant commercial production started 20-Aug-2026 - first full-quarter contribution in Q3FY27 (Jan-2027 results).
    C1
  • Q2FY27 results (late Oct-2026) showing urea volume normalisation as gas allocation recovered to 76% of requirement and kharif demand.
    C2
  • Government notification of the new urea investment policy / any hike in NBS rates for rabi 2026-27 (Oct-2026), and Hormuz de-escalation lowering LNG costs.
    C3
Material risks · 3
  • Gas availability/price: Chambal's Gadepan plants run on RLNG; renewed Hormuz disruption or spot LNG spikes cut urea volumes (Q1FY27 urea revenue Rs 2,860 cr 'despite production challenges') and energy-norm reimbursement lags.
    R1
  • Subsidy/working-capital risk: FY27 subsidy budget (Rs 1.71 lakh cr) is well below likely outgo (Rs 2 lakh cr+), risking delayed payments; screener shows debtor days up from 16 to 36.
    R2
  • Traded-fertiliser (DAP/MOP) margins depend on government NBS rates vs import cost (DAP import dependence ~50%); TAN ramp-up and explosives-market pricing are unproven.
