Fertilizer actions in India were at a minimum of three years or April 1, with their consumption registered a 9 percent growth in fiscal year 2024-25. This could be a challenge for the government. It could pose problems to meet the duration of demand in the Kharif season (summer sowing). Demand has been linked 3 percent higher than Kharif’s real sales of 2024.
The 2025 Kharif Season’s (APRIL-SEPTEMBER ON BASIS OR FERTILIZER SALES) FERTILIZERS DEMAND HAS BEEN PEGGED AT 330.03 LAKH TONNES (LT), WHICH BUDES 185.4 LT OF UREA, 56.99 LT OR DI-AMMONIUM PHURET 11.13, 11.13, 11.13, 11.13, 11.13, 11.13, 11.13, 11.13, 11.13, 11.13, 11.13, 11.13, 11.13 O LT Real Sales Registered Duration Kharif 2024.
More than 25%
On the other hand, in the midst of the growing demand for chemical fertilizers despite the best government efforts to reduce it, opening actions as of April 1 of this year fell more than 25 percent to 107.98 LT from 144.1 LT a year ago. The opening stock of the current year is also the lowest since 2022, when it was 71.08 LT, according to official data.
The experts said there will be pressure on importation, that the government has in the leg trying to drive trying to bring more supplies of a long -term agreement with some countries.
But official sources said that between April and September last year, India had produced more than 150 LT of Urea and imported around 17 lieutenants, so fulfilling the demand 185 this season may not be a problem due to a similar production and expected importance.
DAP: NUT TOUCT
In the case of DAP, where there are always complaints from farmers about their timely availability, the government can find it difficult to meet demand, since there is a 48 LT gap (57 LT demands against 9 opening stock). Last year, national production and importation had generated an availability of 22 LT duration from April to September).
“The prediction of a monsoon above normal this year can maintain the demand for optimistic fertilizers as seen last year. It will not be a surprise if real sales exceed demand estimates, sufficient fertilizers for suppliers are mrural in time.” However, the government should soon begin to raise urea prices marginally in the sections, since it is not good for the ground, the way demand is growing, he said.
Singh pointed out that urea is sold less than ₹ 6/kg, while the cost of salt is more than ₹ 20/kg, so the government needs to plan something that is not from the point of view of subsidies, rather in balanced or fertilizer use.
Ragged
The linked urea demand for the Kharif season is 2 percent lower than the real sales of 189.12 duration of April to September 2024. The consumption in the fiscal year 2015 showed a jump of 8.2 percent year -on -year.
DAP demand for Kharif 2025 has been higher by 23.6 percent of real sales of 46.1 LT since there was shortages last year. DAP’s consumption in 2024-25 fell 12.3 percent to 96.28 lt.
In the case of complex fertilizers, the demand for who has increased rapidly due to better consciousness among farmers, the demand of the Kharif season is a bit higher than Kharif 2024 real sales. 34 percent increases in fiscal year 2015 due to the low base effect.
