Despite the supply disruption from the West Asia crisis, fertiliser companies have sold close to 17 million tonne (MT) of urea, di-ammonium phosphate (DAP), muriate of potash, and NPK variants of soil nutrients to farmers halfway through the current Kharif season. This is against a requirement of 38 MT for the entire season. Sources said that thanks to diversification of imports following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and a rise in domestic production, current fertiliser stocks are close to 14 MT, which should be sufficient to meet the demand for soil nutrients in the next couple of months.
