Regulatory Compliance and Disclosure

Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals disclosed this development under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company has also made this information available on its corporate website at www.gnfc.in to ensure transparency with stakeholders.

Company Background

The fertilizer and chemicals manufacturer holds multiple ISO certifications including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 50001. The company is headquartered at Narmadanagar in Bharuch district, Gujarat, and operates under the corporate identification number L24110GJ1976PLC002903.

Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited has received a Force Majeure Notice regarding significant restrictions on its Re-gasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) supply allocation. The company announced that ongoing war in the Middle East region has adversely impacted LNG supply chains, leading to supply constraints affecting its operations.

Force Majeure Supply Chain Impact

The supply disruption originated from Petronet LNG Limited (PLL), which issued a Force Majeure Notice to GAIL (India) Limited citing transit constraints affecting LNG supply. Since GNFC's RLNG supply under its agreement with GAIL depends on GAIL's receipt of RLNG from PLL, GAIL has consequently issued a Force Majeure Notice to GNFC.

Production Impact on Neem Urea

The restricted RLNG allocation will directly impact GNFC's Neem Urea production operations. The company confirmed that while Neem Urea manufacturing will be affected due to the supply constraints, the production of other products remains unaffected as of the current date. Natural gas serves as a critical raw material for ammonia production, which is essential for urea manufacturing.

Ongoing Monitoring and Uncertainty

GNFC stated that the likely impact of the Force Majeure event, which is currently ongoing, cannot be estimated at this point. The company is closely monitoring the situation and has committed to keeping stock exchanges informed of any material developments regarding the supply constraints and their operational implications.
