India’s fertilizer position looks resilient despite tensions in West Asia. Domestic urea output in March–April hit 37.49 lakh tonnes, almost in line with last year. Meanwhile, the government has secured 37 lakh tonnes of imported urea to protect supply ahead of the Kharif season, aiming to prevent shortages from disrupting farm inputs.
