The company's vertically integrated operations, with strategically located plants and extensive storage and distribution infrastructure, allow it to serve both agricultural and industrial customers reliably. Beyond fertilizers, it is also emerging as a leader in clean energy solutions, investing heavily in low-carbon and green ammonia, positioning itself to play a major role in the global energy transition.
