Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd said in a BSE filing on September 25, 2026 that its board approved placing a purchase order with Larsen and Toubro Limited for an ammonia plant revamp. The RCF ammonia plant revamp order carries a value of Rs 797 crore plus taxes and is intended to reduce specific energy consumption.

The government undertaking said its board took the decision at a meeting held the same day. The approval covers placement of the purchase order on a lowest-tender basis, with the disclosed scope extending from detailed engineering through commissioning and a guarantee run.

The filing concerns RCF's approval to place an order with a supplier. It does not describe an order received by RCF, a distinction relevant to reading the exchange announcement's award-of-order or receipt-of-order classification.

Engineering, supply and commissioning covered

The proposed purchase order brings several stages of the ammonia plant revamp within the disclosed scope of work for Larsen and Toubro Limited. RCF listed the following activities:

  • Detailed engineering, manufacture and supply.

The annexure specifies a 36-month period associated with the order. It identifies the recipient as a domestic entity and states the broad commercial consideration as Rs 797 crore. The main disclosure separately clarifies that taxes are additional to this amount.

Reduction in specific energy consumption is the stated purpose of the work. The supplied disclosure does not quantify the targeted reduction or provide an estimate of the resulting cost savings.

Transaction and disclosure details

RCF stated that the order does not fall within related-party transactions. In response to the disclosure item asking whether its promoter, promoter group or group companies have an interest in the recipient entity, it marked the item as not applicable.

The company submitted the intimation under Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, read with Schedule III, Part B. Its board meeting began at 5:30 pm and concluded at 7:20 pm.
