Today, Chambal Fertilisers and Chemicals Limited is one of the largest private sector fertilizer producers in India.

Built at a price of over Rs. 25 billion (USD 500 million), the two plants produce about 2 million tones of Urea per annum. The first plant was commissioned in 1993 and second plant in 1999. These plants use state-of-the-art technology including that from Denmark, Italy, United States and Japan.

The Company has a vast marketing network comprising 11 regional offices, 1,300 dealers and 20,000 village level outlets.

The Company dealers provide Urea and other agri-inputs like DAP (Di-Ammonium Phosphate), MOP (Murate of Potash), SSP(Single Super Phosphate), pesticides and seeds. Most of these products are sourced from reputed suppliers and sold under the Uttam umbrella brand. Today, the Company has attained a leadership position in the pesticide business in North India.
