As present thirteen enterprises of BCIC are in operation out of which six are urea fertiliser factories. The total installed capacities of the above six urea fatter factories are 2.30 million Mt per annum. Due to ageing the production capacities of six urea fatter factories have been already decreased. Presently the demand of urea fester in the misty is about 3 million MT per annum. This demand is increasing day by day. To meet the growing demand of urea fertiliser, steps have been taken by the Govt. of Bangladesh (GOB) to set up a modern technology based, energy efficient and environment friendly granular urea fertiliser factory named Shahjalal Fertilizer Project (SFP) with an annual capacity of MT at Fenchuganj. It was hoped, the factory will be run as Commercial Operation from January 2016. After completion of construction of SFP, import of about MT. of urea fertiliser will be decreased in a year, as a result, an equivalent amount foreign currency will be saved. Besides, food security will be ensured as a result of application of urea fertiliser produced in the factory and the produced fertiliser will play a supportive role in food production.
