India's Domestic Fertilizer Production Hits Record High, Yet Imports Remain Significant

India's domestic fertilizer production reached a record 52.46 million tonnes in 2025, meeting approximately 73% of the country's needs. This growth is attributed to new plants, revived units, and indigenous manufacturing promotion. Despite this, imports of urea and DAP have significantly increased, with the country still relying on imports for key feedstocks like LNG and muriate of potash, contributing to a rising subsidy burden amid surging demand.
