Matix Fertilisers and Chemicals Limited, promoted by Nishant Kanodia, emerged as a standout performer at the 2025 Fertiliser Association of India (FAI) Annual Seminar, winning two of the industry’s most coveted recognitions. 

 

The company was awarded Best Production Performance for a Nitrogenous Fertiliser Plant and Improvement in Overall Performance of a Company for 2025, underscoring its rapid rise as a major force in India’s fertiliser sector.

 

The awards were presented by Rajat Kumar Mishra, Secretary, Department of Chemicals and Fertilisers, to Matix Managing Director Manoj Mishra and Chief Operating Officer Giridhar Mishra.

 

Commenting on the achievement, Nishant Kanodia, Chairman, Matix Fertilisers and Chemicals Limited, said, “Receiving the prestigious ‘Best Production Performance’ award from the Fertiliser Association of India, two years in a row, within just the fourth year of operations is a testament to the extraordinary pace at which Matix has matured. 

 

"We are proving that when deep industry expertise meets next-generation manufacturing, we can accelerate India’s journey toward self-reliance. This recognition belongs entirely to the resilience and innovation of every Matixian who has worked tirelessly to turn a bold vision into a record-breaking reality. To my team: thank you for setting a new benchmark; we are just getting started.”

 

The honours were conferred during the inaugural session of the FAI Annual Seminar in New Delhi, held under the theme of fertiliser management for a green and farmer-empowered future. The focus aligns with India’s push for efficient nutrient use, reduced import dependence and climate-responsive manufacturing. 

 

The dual awards highlight Matix’s consistent performance gains and its growing role in strengthening a sector critical to national food security.

 

Manoj Mishra, Managing Director, Matix Fertilisers and Chemicals Limited, added, “Receiving the Fertiliser Association of India award for the ‘Best Production Performance for Nitrogenous Fertiliser Plant’ for the second year running, and the award for ‘Improvement in Overall Performance of a Company’, is a proud milestone for Matix and a tribute to the dedication of our team at Panagarh, whose operational discipline and technical excellence drive our performance every day. 

 

"These recognitions also reflect the collective effort of every Matixian across functions, working with a shared commitment to reliability, safety, and continuous improvement. I would also like to acknowledge the professional freedom extended by our Chairman, which enables us to consistently strive for excellence. We remain focused on delivering superior value and contributing to India’s food security with innovation and sustainable growth.”

 

Matix has rapidly established itself as one of India’s most efficient nitrogen fertiliser producers, powered by operational excellence and energy-focused productivity at its Panagarh plant. The facility has become a critical supply anchor for Eastern India, where fertiliser demand continues to climb.
