India’s fertilizer sector is integral to the nation’s agrarian economy, contributing to its GDP. With a growing population and increasing food demand, the need for fertilizers is expected to rise. Government policies, subsidies, and investments in infrastructure aim to enhance domestic production and improve supply chain efficiencies, creating a positive growth outlook for the sector.
Fertilizers are produced by both public and private companies in India, with major players like IFFCO, National Fertilizers Limited (NFL), and Chambal Fertilizers leading the market. Private firms such as Coromandel International and Tata Chemicals also contribute significantly. These companies benefit from government subsidies, strategic expansions, and innovation in eco-friendly fertilizer solutions, bolstering their market position.
