India's urea production soars to 27.58 million tons, boosting agriculture.
India’s urea production reached 275.75 lakh tons (27.58 million tons) during the April-February period of fiscal year 2026, according to a recent government statement. This output is supported by 33 operational urea manufacturing units across the country.
The government has been actively implementing measures to enhance domestic urea production, aiming to reduce reliance on imports and ensure adequate supply for the agricultural sector. These initiatives include policy support for manufacturers and investments in expanding production capacity.
Increased domestic urea production is expected to positively impact the agricultural sector by ensuring timely availability of fertilizers for farmers. This, in turn, could support higher crop yields and contribute to overall agricultural productivity.
The government’s focus on boosting domestic fertilizer production aligns with broader efforts to strengthen the agricultural sector and promote self-sufficiency in essential inputs. This strategy aims to insulate the sector from global supply chain disruptions and price volatility.
