Oct 12, 2026: Fertilizers Sector update

» India sulphur prices ease as buyers hold back

Sulphur prices in India are easing due to improved supply from the Middle East and prompt buyer needs being mostly covered. Granular prices dropped to $930–980/t CFR, with domestic buyers bidding even lower as freight rates remain high due to Gulf security risks. Consequently, this downward trend is expected to lower India's fourth-quarter phosphoric acid costs.Free article

» Indian urea tender: Set to fail

India’s latest urea tender faces a poor outcome after suppliers rejected Indian Potash Limited’s (IPL) counter-offers, which were set heavily below market expectations at $352.10–356.25/t CFR. High production costs in China have prevented traders from matching these lower prices without incurring heavy losses. If suppliers continue to hold out past the extended October 13 deadline, India will likely be forced to scrap the tender and re-issue a new one at a higher rateFree article
