Recently, the most significant concern for manufacturers of plywood and panel board products in India has been the use of subsidized urea in factories, which is expected to bring owners in deep trouble irreversibly. Stringent and proactive measures are being taken against factories that use subsidized Urea. It is an open secret that this practice has been in place since our independence (or even before).<\/span><\/p>\n

In the past decade, the demand for resin in the wood-based panel industry has increased significantly. However, due to the instability and fluctuation in prices of fertilizers and chemicals in international markets following the Ukraine conflict, the government is facing trade volatility and mounting subsidy bills. According to reports from the ministry, the industry uses approximately 10 lakh tons of subsidized urea annually. It is likely that some amount of illegal urea finds its way into neighboring countries like Nepal or Bangladesh as well. As a result, the government is grappling with an estimated subsidy bill of 6,000 crore rupees and additional losses in Goods and Services Tax (GST).<\/span><\/p>\n

Urea is used to produce resin in various industries, such as plywood, particle board, MDF, textiles, leather, crockery, molding powder, and others. The wood-based industry (WBI) is the largest consumer of urea formaldehyde resin.<\/span><\/p>\n

For thousands of years, India has been an innovative nation. The centuries of plunder, exploitation, and misuse of people & resources, have always brought out our best capabilities, tackling problems and situations 24\/7, 365 days a year.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the case of urea as well, India will triumph, India must win, and India will be made victorious, harnessing 100% domestic technology through superior innovation in this field, unmatched by any other in the world. Currently, there is no leader better than our respected Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, who inspires us to overcome challenges through hard work and continuous dedication.<\/span><\/p>\n

The development of urea-free commercial and MR-grade glue technology has been successfully developed, during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic period, and is fully ready to be commercialized and implemented in full swing.<\/span><\/p>\n
