India has issued a global tender for the import of 85 million tonnes of fertilisers, comprising 50 million tonnes of NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) and 35 million tonnes of ammonium sulphate. This initiative, led by Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers (RCF), aims to strengthen nutrient reserves ahead of the main planting season starting in June. The shipment is anticipated to arrive by May 31 at the east coast of India. The government is increasingly focusing on ammonium sulphate as a viable alternative source of nitrogen to partially replace urea, which is heavily used in Indian agriculture. Recently included in the fertiliser subsidy scheme, ammonium sulphate is expected to see increased demand due to this support. Despite local production of 90% of NPK fertilisers, India remains dependent on imports for critical raw materials like gas and potash necessary for domestic manufacturing.
