Ziraat Times Team Report 

New Delhi, May 4: India’s fertiliser stocks remain robust and well above requirement levels despite the ongoing geopolitical tensions in West Asia, with the government asserting that supplies are sufficient for the upcoming Kharif season.

At an inter-ministerial media briefing held at the National Media Centre, officials from the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers said the country currently holds 195.71 lakh metric tonnes (LMT) of fertilisers, compared to 174.98 LMT during the same period last year.

The stockpile already covers more than 50 percent of the total Kharif requirement of 390.54 LMT, significantly higher than the typical 33 percent benchmark at this stage, reflecting improved planning and logistics.

Officials highlighted that fertiliser availability between May 1 and May 3 far exceeded demand across all categories. Urea availability stood at 62.28 LMT against a requirement of just 2.66 LMT, while DAP availability was 20.32 LMT compared to a requirement of 0.85 LMT. Similar trends were recorded for MOP, NPK, and SSP fertilisers, indicating a strong opening position for the agricultural season.

Following the West Asia crisis, India has added approximately 84 LMT of fertilisers through domestic production and imports. Domestic output accounted for 67.71 LMT, while imports contributed 16.69 LMT.

The government has also actively secured supplies through global tenders. Since late February, India has procured 38.07 LMT of urea via international agreements. Additionally, fertiliser companies have floated tenders for 12 LMT of DAP, 4 LMT of TSP, and 3 LMT of ammonium sulphate to ensure adequate supply during peak demand.

Officials said input availability for fertiliser production is being closely monitored, with multiple meetings of the empowered group of secretaries held to address supply challenges.

Despite global uncertainties, prices of key fertilisers remain unchanged, with urea priced at ₹266.5 per bag and DAP at ₹1,350 per bag, offering stability to farmers.

The government maintained that India’s fertiliser supply chain remains resilient, backed by coordinated planning, diversified sourcing, and proactive policy measures. With stocks comfortably exceeding requirements, authorities expressed confidence that there will be no shortage during the critical sowing season.
