| Is India paying more than its neighbours for DAP? Is this blackmail?IndianFertilizer.com reports aggressive procurement at $600/t CFR as state-backed importers act early to avoid Kharif disruption.
By: www.indianfertilizer.com In April 2025 alone, India imported over 640,000 tonnes of DAP—the highest in a year—indicating a strong, front-loaded supply push to prevent a repeat of 2022's fertilizer crisis, when delayed procurement caused widespread shortages and panic buying. Key highlights:

The government's fertilizer subsidy mechanism continues to play a vital role in shielding importers from full global pricing impact, making bold procurement financially viable. IndianFertilizer.com highlights that the 2022 DAP crisis—marked by prices above $950/t and empty warehouses—has deeply influenced 2025's forward-planning. By paying more now, India hopes to avoid the kind of panic buying and political backlash experienced three years ago.
