Matix Fertilisers and Chemicals Limited has received the Energy Efficient Unit Award at the 26th National Awards for Excellence in Energy Management, hosted by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in Hyderabad. The award celebrates the strong operational performance of Matix’s urea plant in Panagarh, West Bengal, during the financial year 2024–25 and highlights the company’s continued focus on sustainable industrial practices.
Reflecting on the recognition, Nishant Kanodia, Chairman and Promoter of Matix Fertilisers, said
“This honour holds great significance for everyone at Matix. Our progress in FY25 is a testament to the efforts of our people and the smart investments we’ve made in technology. As one of the largest fertiliser facilities in eastern India, we’ve worked hard to operate responsibly and efficiently. This recognition encourages us to continue placing sustainability at the centre of our operations.”
CII’s annual award programme recognises top performers in energy efficiency across India’s industrial sector and promotes the exchange of successful strategies and technologies in energy management.
