Kathmandu. Due to supply chain disruptions caused by the situation in the West Asia region, India has issued an international tender to import 2.5 million metric tons of urea.
The state-owned Indian Potash Limited has already issued the tender, with the deadline for applications set for April 15.
India remains heavily dependent on the international market to meet its urea demand. With the onset of the monsoon and the beginning of the summer crop planting season, demand is expected to rise further.
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has impacted the global supply chain. This has not only disrupted fertilizer supplies from major exporting countries but has also reduced maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
The obstruction of this maritime route has led to an LPG shortage in India and a sharp rise in global crude oil prices.
