Arun Paruka, Secretary (Union Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals), said that DAP nanomaterial represents an important step in pushing the country towards realizing Atma Nirbar’s vision for fertilizers. “We are working closely with industry to promote its use and status as a fertilizer alternative to conventional nutrients.
