# Increase in IPP cap on production beyond reassessed capacity is a credit positive for urea manufacturers, says ICRA

> India's Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approved amendments raising the import-parity-linked cap on urea production beyond reassessed capacity under the New Urea Policy 2015. ICRA called this a credit positive for urea makers, while no decision was taken on reimbursing higher fixed costs.
