India Fertilizer Market to Grow at a CAGR of 4.30% During 2026-2035, Aided by Advancements in Agricultural Techniques

Advancements in agricultural technology, such as precision farming, are significantly transforming the market. Farmers can now apply fertilizers with precision based on distinct soil characteristics and crop requirements, decreasing waste, and optimising efficiency. Furthermore, the development of innovative fertilizers like controlled-release fertilizers, that permit gradual nutrient discharge, ultimately encouraging improved nutrient uptake by plants while mitigating environmental effects, is supporting the market.

Recent technological advancements have not only enhanced fertilizer effectiveness but also supported more sustainable agricultural practices. These improvements make fertilizers more appealing to farmers while also driving increased demand. The incorporation of drone technology allows for the precise identification of areas requiring fertilizer application. This optimisation of use minimises environmental impact while empowering farmers to allocate resources efficiently.

The urea subsidy budget for fiscal year 2023–2024 is approximately USD 15.6 billion, representing a 14.9% decrease from the previous fiscal year's subsidy amount of approximately USD 17.8 billion. The total nutrient-based subsidy budget for phosphorus and potassium fertilizers of the same year is approximately USD 5.3 billion, which is a 38% decrease from the subsidy budget of the prior fiscal year of approximately USD 11.4 billion.

Further, government policies play a crucial role in shaping the fertilizer market growth. The government of India actively supports farmers through financial assistance and incentives to adopt improved agricultural methods incorporating fertilizer use. Subsidies serve to reduce input costs for farmers, making fertilizers more accessible and affordable. This allows for greater agricultural productivity, higher food output, and strengthened food security across India.

In February 2023, Coromandel International Ltd (NSE: COROMANDEL), an Indian agricultural solutions provider, developed a novel nanotechnology-based fertilizer called Nano DAP through its research and development collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. Nano DAP has the potential to significantly advance the sustainability of Indian agriculture by improving nutrient uptake in crops, reducing water consumption, and minimising environmental losses. The use of Nano DAP is expected to enhance the economic viability of farms through increased yields and lower input costs.
