Dibrugarh: Ahead of the Prime Minister’s visit to Namrup in Assam to lay the foundation stone of a new urea plant, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on land-use rights was signed on Monday between Brahmaputra Valley Fertilizer Corporation Limited (BVFCL) and Assam Valley Fertilizer & Chemical Company Limited (AVFCCL) at the Conference Hall of BVFCL, Namrup.

The MoU formalises the understanding between BVFCL (Grantor) and AVFCCL (Acceptor) for granting land-use rights at Namrup to enable preparatory and pre-project activities for the proposed Ammonia–Urea Complex.

It outlines the framework for access, use, and management of the identified land and sets out the respective roles, responsibilities, and safeguards agreed upon by both companies as they move towards project implementation.

Senior officials from Projects & Development India Limited (PDIL), the implementing partner of the AVFCCL project, were also present on the occasion.

Once established, the AVFCCL facility is expected to become the largest urea-producing unit in Northeast India, significantly strengthening fertilizer availability in the region, supporting farmers, and contributing to industrial and economic growth in Assam and the Northeastern states.
