Paradeep Phosphates Share Price

Paradeep Phosphates Limited (PPL) is India's second largest integrated private sector fertiliser manufacturer. It is among India’s foremost private sector players in the phosphatic fertiliser segment, with a market share of around 8%.

The Bhubaneswar-headquartered company was incorporated in 1981 as a joint venture between the Indian government and the Republic of Nauru to establish a phosphatic fertiliser manufacturing unit in Paradeep, Odisha.

The Republic of Nauru divested its stake in 1993, paving the way for PPL to become a Central Public Sector Unit (CPSU). The Government of India divested about 80% of its stake in 2002 to Zuari Maroc Phosphates Pvt Ltd, a joint venture between an indigenous fertiliser firm Zuari Agro Chemicals Limited (ZACL) and Morocco based phosphate giant OCP Group S.A.

In 2022, the central government offloaded its remaining 19.55% stake, as PPL launched a ₹1500 crore initial public offering (IPO). The company utilised a portion of the fund raised through IPO to take over a 1.2 million Metric ton capacity fertiliser plant in Goa the same year. After the IPO, ZMPPL now owns a 56.1% stake in PPL.

The company’s market capitalisation stood at nearly ₹1,000 crore as of December 22, 2023. PPL share price has surged more than 358% in the last three years.
