The Board of Directors of the Fertiliser Association of India (FAI), in its meeting held on October 31, 2025, has elected Mr. S. Sankarasubramanian, Managing Director and CEO of Coromandel International Limited, as the Chairman of FAI.
Dr. Siba Prasad Mohanty, Managing Director of Hindustan Urvarak & Rasayan Ltd., who was earlier one of the two Co-Chairmen, will now serve as the sole Co-Chairman of the Association.
Mr. Sankarasubramanian, previously Co-Chairman of the FAI Board and Chairman of FAI’s Southern Region, brings with him more than 30 years of deep industry experience, especially in the Phosphatic and Potassic (P&K) fertiliser segments. His leadership is expected to further strengthen FAI’s strategic role in supporting India’s agricultural ecosystem.
In his remarks, Mr. Sankarasubramanian reaffirmed FAI’s commitment to “driving innovation and sustainability through resource efficiency and balanced nutrition, while working closely with policymakers to achieve Atmanirbharta in the fertiliser sector.” He emphasized that the industry would continue aligning its goals with national agricultural priorities to foster growth, resilience, and long-term food security.
The FAI also extended its appreciation to Mr. Sailesh C. Mehta, the outgoing Chairman, acknowledging his leadership and valuable contributions to the sector.
Established in 1955, the Fertiliser Association of India serves as the apex representative body for the fertiliser industry, encompassing manufacturers, importers, distributors, equipment suppliers, and research institutions across India.
