India has ensured robust fertilizer security for the upcoming Kharif season, with availability comfortably exceeding the nation's requirements. As of May 25, 2026, the Department of Fertilizers confirmed that approximately 117.6 LMT of fertilizers have augmented the overall supply through a combination of domestic production and imports, effectively managing stocks.
Further bolstering these supplies, India has secured about 13.5 LMT of DAP and 9 LMT of NPKs, including ammonium sulphate, from regions beyond the Strait of Hormuz. These crucial consignments are anticipated to reach Indian ports during May and June 2026, aligning with the peak demand period for sowing activities.
The Department of Fertilizers is actively monitoring the availability of essential raw materials vital for fertilizer production. To sustain industry operations and ensure continuous supply, the government is diligently clearing subsidy dues to fertilizer companies on a weekly basis.
