The scope of the project consists of approximately 50,000mt of modules expected to be delivered in 32 months.

L&T’s Kattupalli modular fabrication facility will manufacture these modules before they are sent to the project site in Australia to be thoroughly tested, pre-commissioned, and equipped for installation.

Perdaman chair Vikas Rambal said: “The state-of-the-art facility will help to ensure that Australia has a secure and reliable source of high-quality urea and therefore food security.
