Reinforcing the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat, the Government of India has significantly reduced the country’s dependence on fertilizer imports. In 2025, nearly 73 percent of the country’s total fertilizer requirement was met through domestic production, representing a significant milestone in achieving self-reliance. The Government continues to work tirelessly to empower farmers, promote self-reliance, and ensure a reliable and uninterrupted supply of fertilizers across the country.
With a strong focus on fertilizer security and timely availability of nutrients to farmers, the Government has prioritised long-term supply agreements for key raw materials and adopted a strategy of strategic diversification to safeguard against global uncertainties and supply disruptions.
These sustained efforts have resulted in a steady and consistent rise in domestic fertilizer production over the past five years. Total domestic production of fertilizers, including Urea, DAP, NPKs and SSP has increased from 433.29 lakh tonnes in 2021 to 467.87 lakh tonnes in 2022, followed by a significant jump to 507.93 lakh tonnes in 2023. The upward trend continued in 2024 with production reaching 509.57 lakh tonnes, and further accelerated to an all-time high of 524.62 lakh tonnes in 2025. This sustained growth reflects the robustness of India’s fertilizer manufacturing ecosystem and the effectiveness of Government interventions. This landmark achievement is a direct outcome of the Government’s proactive and effective policy initiatives aimed at strengthening the fertilizer sector and supporting the agricultural economy.
The growth in domestic production has been driven by the establishment of new fertilizer plants, revival of previously closed units, promotion of indigenous manufacturing, and assured availability of raw materials. These measures have collectively enhanced the resilience, capacity, and sustainability of the fertilizer industry.
The Government remains committed to further strengthening fertilizer security, supporting farmers with timely and affordable inputs, and ensuring sustainable agricultural growth in line with the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.
