India Phosphatic Fertilizer Market Trends:

Government Policy Support and Subsidy Programs

Government policies significantly shape the Indian phosphatic fertilizer market. Subsidy programs under schemes like the Nutrient-Based Subsidy (NBS) ensure affordable fertilizer prices for farmers. For instance, in March 2025, the Union Cabinet approved a ₹37,216 crore subsidy for phosphatic and potassic (P&K) fertilizers for the Kharif 2025 season (April to September). This decision ensures affordable fertilizer prices for farmers under the Nutrient-Based Subsidy (NBS) scheme. The subsidy is ₹13,000 crore higher than the previous Rabi season. The government aims to maintain stable prices for Di-ammonium Phosphate (DAP) and reduce the impact of fluctuating international fertilizer prices. Additionally, 28 grades of P&K fertilizers will be available at subsidized rates. Additionally, policy reforms promoting balanced nutrient application and soil health management have further enhanced the consumption of phosphatic fertilizers. Additionally, the government's emphasis on reducing import dependency by encouraging domestic production has spurred investments in fertilizer manufacturing plants. Recent initiatives to develop integrated nutrient management systems have also contributed to market expansion. Strengthening public-private partnerships and increased financial assistance to manufacturers ensure market stability. Through these policies, the government aims to achieve food security and improve agricultural productivity, driving steady growth in the phosphatic fertilizer sector.

Rising Demand for Specialty and Customized Fertilizers

The demand for specialty and customized fertilizers, including water-soluble and slow-release phosphatic fertilizers, is rapidly growing in India. These fertilizers are designed to meet the distinct needs of various crops and regional soil conditions, enhancing nutrient absorption and boosting productivity. Agribusiness companies are increasingly investing in research and development to create innovative formulations tailored to diverse farming landscapes. The rise of horticulture and floriculture industries has further fueled the need for premium fertilizers. Additionally, India is securing raw materials through long-term agreements, such as the recent deal with Mauritania for importing rock phosphate, which are essential components of specialty and customized blends tailored for different crop needs. With a fertilizer demand of 43.5 million tonnes annually, the government has committed ₹1.64 trillion in subsidies to ensure price stability, support innovation, and maintain agricultural productivity.
