The Associationapproved a creditof US$105.0million equivalent (Credit598-IN) on December31, 1975 to the Governmentof India (GOI) to assist India'sfertilizer industry to modernizeits existingproduction facilities,eliminate bottlenecks in prodtuction,improve pollution control systems,and installenergy-efficient equipment. Under the Credit, thirty-sixsubprojects have been implementedby 13 subborrowersin the public,private and joint sectors,accounting for 65% of India'sfertilizer manufactiprers.The Creditwas onlent to beneficiaries,partly through the IndustrialDevelopment Bank of India (IDBI)with funds earmarked. In addition,GOI sponsoredthree fertilizerindustry related studies under technicalassistance. 2. The Projectwas designedas a pilot projectof a new type of programlending which is tailoredfor a specificindustry with a number of firm subprojectcomponents. As comparedwith traditionalprogram or sector loans whose subprojectcontents were selectedand implementedunder the initiativeof governments,the Projectwas designedto enablethe Associationto establishdirect relationshipswith subprojectexecuting entities. Therefore,all the subprojectsunder the Projectwere appraised individuallyby the Associationmission during appraisal, and includedin the Projectscope as firm components. In the courseof Projectimplementa- tion, however,the originalconcept of the Projectproved to be difficult to manage,as most of the subprojectswere droppedand had to be replaced by otherswith similarobjectives. Out of nineteenoriginal subprojects, nine were droppedand replacedby twenty-sixnew subprojects.Against this background,this ProjectCompletion Report (PCR) has been preparedpartly followingthe line used in preparingthe PCR for DevelopmentFinance Corporation(DFC) projectswithin the basic frameworkused for normal industrialprojects. 3. In accordance with the revised projectperformance reporting procedures this report has been read in the Operations EvaluationDepartment (OED) but the projectwas not auditedby OED staff. The draft Completion Reportwas sent to the Borrowerfor comments;however, none were received. - ii - PROJECTCOMPLETION REPORT INDIA-FERTILIZERINDUSTRY CREDIT (CREDIT598-IN) BASIC DATA SHEET KEY PROJECTDATA Appraisal Actual and Item Estimate Final Estimates ProjectCost (US$ million) 238.7 169.2 Cost Underrun or Overrun (%) - 29.1 Number of Subprojects 22 a/ 39 a/ Credit Amount (US$ million) Disbursement 105.0 101.9 Cancelled - 3.1 Project Cost and Credit Allocation by Sub-borrower Credit Project Credit Project Allocation Cost Allocation FCI ) ) 3.4 2.2 RCF ) ) 19.9 13.0 HFC ) 79.0 ) 38.5 b/ c/ 35.4 20.9 NFL ) ) 4.5 3.4 PDIL ) ) 0.4 0.4 NLC 19.5 12.0 21.1 10.9 HSC (SAIL) 26.1 15.5 22.2 16.2 GSFC d/ 20.6 9.0 17.1 4.5 SPIC d/ 46.2 14.0 12.3 8.1 HPCL 25.9 4.0 - - ZAC d/ 10.2 6.0 13.6 10.5 CFL e/ 8.5 4.0 3.1 1.7 MFL e/ 1.7 1.0 0.8 0.5 IFFCO d/ - - 17.1 10.2 DOA 1.0 1.0 0.4 0.4 Total 238.7 105.0 169.2 101.9 a/ Three fertilizerrelated studies are included. b/ This amountwas allocatedto FCI before its restructuringinto five companies. c/ Equipmentprocured by PDIL, which was FCI's engineeringdepartment prior to its restructuring,has been allocatedto other operating companies. d/ Credit proceedswere onlent to these subborrowersthrough IDBI. e/ Creditproceeds were sold by the Borrowerto these two companies. - iii - CumulativeIDA Loan Disbursement FY76 FY77 FY78 FY79 FY80 FY81 FY82 FY83 l ~~~~ Appraisal Estimate 13.6 34.6 84.0 105.0 - - - - Actual 1.0 7.5 18.0 35.9 60.0 83.6 96.9 101.9 StabilizedCapacity Utilization of Major Plantsunder the Project(%) After Projecta/ Company Plant BeforeProject Appraisal Actual FCI Urea 54 80 59 RCF Ammonia 76 80 89 PhosphoricAcid 61 80 78 HFC Urea 38 80 37 NLC Urea 56 80 76 SAIL CalciumAmmonium Nitrate 39 80 34 GSFC Urea 72 80 86 PhosphoricAcid 55 80 86 SPIC Ammonium/Urea 73 80 96 CFL Ammonia/Urea 76 80 84 ZAC Ammonia/Urea 87 80 89 IFFCO Ammonia 92 N/A 95 Appraisal Estimate Actual FinancialRate of Return (Z) 14-60% 2-12% EconomicRate of Return (%) 18- 100% 12-100% OTHER DATA FirstMention in Files 09/74 PreappraisalMission 01/75 AppraisalMission 04/75 Negotiations 11/75 Board ApprovalDate 11/16/75 Loan SignatureDate 12/31/75 EffectivenessDate 03/01/76 OriginalClosing Date 06/30/80 ActualClosing Date 12/31/82 Borrower GOI ExecutingAgency 13 FertilizerCompanies and GOI a/ Averagecapacity utilization for four years after the Project. - iv - MISSION DATA Mission Mo/Yr.
