Context:
India has achieved an all-time high fertilizer production of 524.62 lakh tonnes in 2025, meeting nearly 73% of its total fertilizer demand through domestic supply. This marks a major step towards strengthening fertilizer security and reducing vulnerability to global disruptions.
What is Fertilizer Security?
Fertilizer security refers to ensuring the timely, affordable, and uninterrupted availability of key fertilizers—Urea, DAP, NPKs, and SSP—to Indian farmers by:
- Reducing import dependence
- Expanding domestic production
- Securing raw material supply chains
It is a critical component of food security, farm productivity, and macroeconomic stability.
