Russia Assures India Of Uninterrupted Fertilizer Supply Amid Rising Import Costs

Russia has assured India of uninterrupted fertilizer supplies as rising import costs put pressure on the government’s subsidy bill. India has already spent more than 55% of its ₹1.77 lakh crore fertilizer subsidy allocation for FY27, with DAP and MOP prices remaining elevated. With India importing a significant share of its fertilizer requirements and raw materials, Russia’s assurance could provide greater supply security in the near term. Business Today’s Karishma Asoodani explains how the assurance could support India’s fertilizer supplies, ease short-term pressure and help the government manage import requirements amid ongoing global uncertainties and changing trade dynamics.
