India fertiliser supply stable is the key message from industry leaders at the Agri Business Summit 2025.
They say the country has enough fertiliser for the current season, even though some regions are facing short-term gaps in DAP, urea and NPK due to strong monsoon demand.
At the summit, Dhanuka Agritech Chairman Emeritus RG Agarwal admitted that pressure exists in a few districts but ruled out a nationwide crisis.
He said the government is rushing extra stocks wherever complaints come in and urged farmers to rely on science rather than rumours about overuse.
India fertiliser supply stable despite strong monsoon demand
Agarwal explained that a good monsoon and higher sowing pushed up fertiliser offtake in many states.
Trucks sometimes reach late, which creates a feeling of shortage for a few days.
However, he stressed that total availability remains comfortable at the national level.
He also warned that blanket claims that fertilisers always damage soil can mislead farmers.
According to him, the real solution lies in balanced doses based on soil tests, crop needs and expert advice.
Nano fertilisers drive self-reliance and lower import risk
IFFCO Chairman Dileepbhai Sanghani used the platform to promote nano urea and other nano fertilisers.
He said these products cut India’s import dependence and support the Atmanirbhar Bharat vision.
Nano urea bottles are lighter to move, require less storage space and receive a subsidy that keeps prices affordable.
He pointed out that nano urea is manufactured in India, does not harm soil structure and does not pollute water.
Sanghani appealed to farmers in every state to replace at least part of their conventional urea with nano urea in the coming seasons.
New urea capacity and long-term contracts support stable supply
FAI Chairman and Coromandel MD and CEO S Sankarasubramanian added that long-term import deals with the Middle East, Africa and Russia help smoothen supply flows.
He noted that India has revived several old plants and added around 7 million tonnes of urea capacity in recent years.
According to him, this new domestic production, combined with nano fertilisers and green ammonia projects, will keep India fertiliser supply stable even when major exporters such as China restrict shipments.
He said the industry remains ready to respond quickly to any spike in demand and sees no risk of a nationwide shortage this year.
