Fertiliser security strong and stable: Union Government

Amid criticism by the Opposition that the Centre had failed to ensure availability of cooking gas and fertilisers, the Union Fertilisers Ministry said here on Monday (April 27, 2026) that the country’s fertiliser security remained “strong, stable, and well-managed,” with availability consistently exceeding requirement across all major fertilisers.

Addressing an inter-ministerial briefing on the impact of the recent developments in West Asia on the availability and production of fertilisers, Aparna S. Sharma, Additional Secretary, Department of Fertilisers, said retail prices of Urea, Di Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) and Triple Superphosphate (TSP) would remain unchanged at ₹266.5, ₹1,350 and ₹1,300 per bag respectively.
