India Maintains Fertiliser Supply with Increased Imports and Stable Stocks Amid Challenges
India's fertiliser sector shows adequate supply despite recent challenges. Fertiliser companies have sold nearly 17 million tonnes of key nutrients mid-Kharif season against a 38 million tonne requirement, with stocks around 14 million tonnes. Urea imports rose 83% to 10.35 million tonnes in fiscal 2025-26 to meet demand, while domestic urea production slightly declined. Di-ammonium phosphate imports and production also increased. The government has managed supply through diversified imports and domestic production amid West Asia disruptions.
