Indo Gulf Fertilisers stops operations at Jagdishpur plant

Indo Gulf Fertilisers, a part of Aditya Birla Nuvo Ltd, has temporarily shut down its operations at the ammonia/urea plant at Jagdishpur. Aditya Birla Nuvo has informed BSE that due to some problem which occurred in one of the synthesis loop waste heat boilers installed in ammonia plant at Indo Gulf Fertiliser unit at Jagdishpur, it has been decided to shut down the ammonia/urea plant operations for carrying out necessary repairs for a period of around 7 days from May 14, 2014.
 
Further, Aditya Birla Nuvo has announced that Aditya Birla Insulators’ Rishra Unit at West Bengal has suspended work as a section of workers had gone into stoppage of work affecting the entire line of manufacturing process. “This act on the part of workmen has disrupted the operations of the Plant and the Unions could not bring normalcy of the work. As a result the management is forced to discontinue the operations with effect from May 13, 2014 by declaring suspension of work in the Plant till further notice,” said Aditya Birla Nuvo in a BSE filing today.
 
The company was carrying on Long Term Settlement (LTS) discussions with recognised Unions at Aditya Birla Insulators, Rishra Unit.
