30 May 2026 Evaluate

Fertiliser Secretary Rajat Kumar Mishra has said that India saw excess sale of urea and DAP -- the two highly consumed fertilisers -- during the March-May period of 2026 following the breakout of West Asia crisis. About 50.59 lakh tonne of urea was sold during March 1 and May 25 after the war, up 4.58 lakh tonne from 46.01 lakh tonne in the year-ago period. The excess sale of urea was mostly confined to Maharasthra, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jammu and Kashmir, Assam, Chhatisgarh, and Jharkhand. In case of DAP, 12.49 lakh tonne were sold during March 1 and May 25, up by 3.50 lakh tonne from 8.98 lakh tonne in the year-ago period.

Mishra said there is adequate stock of urea, DAP, Muriate of Potash (MoP), NPK, and Single Super Phosphate (SSP) as of May 26 compared to a year ago. Urea stock stood at 80.44 lakh as of May 26 this year, higher than 76.31 lakh tonne in the year-ago period, while DAP was 21.49 lakh tonne against 15.14 lakh tonne, NPKs were at 58.93 lakh tonne against 49.95 lakh tonne, MoP at 13.08 lakh tonne against 12.36 lakh tonne. SSP was slightly lower at 26.74 lakh tonne as of May 26 as against 27.49 lakh tonne in the last year.

Total fertiliser stock stood at 200.68 lakh tonne as of May 26, as against 181.25 lakh tonne in the year-ago. Mishra said efforts are made by the government to ensure adequate fertiliser through both domestic and import supplies amid sharp increase in global prices. About 25 lakh tonne of urea, 13.50 lakh tonne of DAP have been imported so far. Meanwhile, the government is holding constant dialogues with 28 missions abroad to ensure uninterrupted supplies.
