Industry Overview
Since the beginning of 2022, fertilizer prices in India have increased by almost 30%. Amid the volatile macroeconomic scenario, fertilizer shortage continues to be a cause of concern. Taking cognizance of the challenges faced by the farmers, last month, the government announced its intention of making India self-sufficient in producing conventional urea and nano liquid urea fertilizers by 2025. As a result, around 60 lakh tonnes of production capacity will be added for conventional urea, while the output of nano urea is estimated to rise to 44 crores bottles (of 500 ml each) annually until 2025. This will be equivalent to 200 lakh tonnes of conventional urea at the end of the three years.
