Chemicals and Fertilizers Ministry has said that four cargo ships, carrying shipments of Urea, Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP), and Sulphur have successfully crossed the Strait of Hormuz last week.

These vessels are currently heading toward their designated destination ports across the country, including Krishnapatnam and Kakinada ports in Andhra Pradesh, Paradeep port in Odisha, and the Mundra port in Gujarat.

The Ministry said these fresh imports will immediately offload to supplement the nation’s existing fertilizer buffers and secure ongoing agricultural requirements.

The Ministry highlighted that country’s cumulative fertilizer stock position stands at a robust 196 lakh tonnes, compared to 168 lakh tonnes during the corresponding period last year. The Ministry said domestic fertilizer production rose significantly after the crisis, reaching 133 lakh metric tonnes.
