India is importing 2.5 million tonnes of urea to secure enough soil nutrient for the main planting season starting in June. Indian Potash Ltd has issued a global tender for the import.
The tender specifies that ships must depart export locations before June 14. Urea is considered a vital component for promoting effective crop growth.
Shortages in natural gas have negatively impacted domestic production capabilities. This import initiative aims to bolster reserves and ensure an adequate supply for agricultural needs.
