In DAP, too, the largest source of India’s imports is Saudi Arabia. During April-December 2025, the 19.9 mt of imports included 9 mt from Qatar, 2.1 mt from UAE and 1.2 mt from Oman. Out of the 2.5 mt ammonia imports in 2024-25 (2 mt in April-December 2025), almost 1 mt (0.8 mt) was from Oman, 0.9 mt (0.7 mt) from Saudi Arabia and 0.2 mt (0.06 mt) from Qatar. The same goes for DAP (2.5 mt versus 1.3 mt) and complexes (5.4 mt versus 3.2 mt),” G. Ravi Prasad, a fertiliser industry veteran, noted. DAP stocks were higher though (2 mt versus 1.2 mt), while unchanged at 3.6 mt for complex fertilisers.
