The availability of fertilisers has remained comfortable across Indian states during the ongoing Kharif 2025 season, the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilisers said in a statement on Friday.
According to the Ministry, against the pro-rata requirement of 143 LMT of Urea, the total availability stood at 183 LMT, of which 155 LMT has already been sold.
In the case of DAP, availability was 49 LMT against the requirement of 45 LMT, with 33 LMT sold so far.
For NPKs, availability was ensured at 97 LMT against a pro-rata requirement of 58 LMT, while 64.5 LMT has been sold.
India has three cropping seasons: Summer, Kharif, and Rabi. Kharif crops, sown during June-July and dependent on monsoon rains, are harvested in October-November. Rabi crops, sown in October-November, are harvested from January, depending on their maturity. Summer crops are produced between the Rabi and Kharif seasons.
The Ministry further underlined that "the availability of fertilisers has remained comfortable during the ongoing season so far" despite global disruptions in supply chains.
