A seal leak in the RC pump and low gas pressure mean no production before Saturday; the 1,100-tonne-a-day factory made only 65,000 tonnes of urea in all of 2025-26.
Chittagong Urea Fertilizer Limited has been receiving gas to demand for about a week and resumed ammonia production on 9 September; once mechanical faults are fixed the plant expects to turn out 1,000 tonnes of urea a day.
