On July 31, Chemicals and Fertilisers Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda told Parliament that the supply of key fertilisers—urea, DAP, MOP and NPKS—has stayed adequate during the Kharif 2026 season.
The government has taken several steps to keep the supply chain smooth. These include allocating fertilisers, coordinating with manufacturers and importers, monitoring stocks through the Integrated Fertiliser Management System (iFMS) and moving railway rakes to states on time.
According to official data, the closing stock of urea was 65.52 lakh metric tonnes (LMT) as of July 27. DAP stocks stood at 16.52 LMT, MOP at 8.51 LMT, and NPKS availability was 44.31 LMT.
On domestic urea production, the minister highlighted the New Investment Policy (NIP) 2012, amended in 2014, which has attracted fresh investment. Six new urea plants have been set up: four through joint‑venture companies of public sector undertakings and two by private firms.
Recently, the Union Cabinet approved a 12.7 LMT annual capacity brownfield ammonia‑urea complex at Brahmaputra Valley Fertiliser Corporation Ltd., Namrup, Assam. This project is a joint venture of public sector undertakings under Assam Valley Fertiliser and Chemical Company Ltd. and is currently under execution.
These measures aim to ensure farmers have the fertilisers they need for a successful Kharif crop season.
