Fertilizer Stock Position and Availability

India's overall fertilizer stock position remains comfortable with current stocks of 196.65 LMT covering more than 51% of the reassessed Kharif 2026 requirement of 383.9 LMT, significantly higher than the usual level of about 33%. Indian farmers have purchased 102.78 LMT of chemical fertilizers till 14th June 2026, representing approximately 27% of the total requirement. Additionally, 22.60 LMT of organic manure is available in the country, with farmers purchasing 11.82 LMT of organic manure after the crisis compared to 3.31 LMT during the corresponding period last year, showing a substantial shift toward organic alternatives.

Post-crisis domestic production and imports have added approximately 163.01 LMT of fertilizers to availability, including 74.95 LMT domestic urea production, 21.95 LMT imported urea, 10.33 LMT domestic DAP production, 4.18 LMT imported DAP, 23.93 LMT domestic NPKs production, 8.52 LMT imported NPKs, 14.44 LMT domestic SSP production, and 4.71 LMT imported MOP. India has secured more than 50 LMT of urea and P&K fertilizers through coordination with 28 missions abroad, sourcing from countries including Oman, Malaysia, Vietnam, Georgia, Nigeria, Russia, Finland, Egypt, Algeria, Turkey, Netherlands, Morocco, USA, Jordan, South Korea, Tunisia, and Saudi Arabia via the Red Sea. In ongoing June, more than 25 LMT of imported urea, DAP, and NPKs are expected to reach Indian ports, and a global tender for 17 LMT urea procurement is in progress.

Energy Supply and Fuel Availability

All refineries are operating at high capacity with adequate crude inventories, and sufficient stocks of petrol and diesel are being maintained. Domestic LPG production from refineries has been increased to support domestic consumption. An inter-ministerial Joint Working Group has been established to ensure availability of petrochemical feedstock, with the government permitting oil refinery companies to make minimum quantities of C3 & C4 streams available for critical sectors. Since 1st June 2026, more than 5,860 MT of C3-C4 molecules and around 5,050 MT of Butyl Acrylate have been sold to chemical, pharma, and paint industries.

The government reduced excise duty on petrol and diesel by ₹10 per litre to protect consumers from abnormal crude price increases due to the Middle East crisis. Despite heavy crowding at retail outlets in certain areas, adequate stocks are available nationwide. Natural gas supply to operating urea plants has reached around 100% of their average consumption over the preceding six months, while supply to other industrial and commercial sectors has been enhanced to 80%.

LPG Supply and Allocation Measures

LPG supply continues to be affected by the prevailing situation, but supply to domestic households has been prioritized with no dry-outs reported at distributorships. Online LPG cylinder bookings increased to about 99% on industry basis, and Delivery Authentication Code-based deliveries have been increased to about 96% to prevent diversion. In the last 4 days, approximately 1.84 crore LPG cylinders were delivered against bookings of around 1.66 crore cylinders.

Commercial LPG allocation has been set at 70% of pre-crisis level including 10% reform-based allocation. In the last 4 days, about 2.18 lakh 5 Kg FTL cylinders were sold, with more than 14,500 sold through 871 camps. Total of 24,184 MT of commercial LPG and about 722 MT of auto LPG have been sold by PSU OMCs.

Enforcement and Monitoring Actions

State governments have been directed to take necessary actions against black marketing or unauthorized diversion. Cumulative enforcement actions since March 2026 include approximately 1,330 FIRs registered, 311 persons arrested, and about 75,960 cylinders seized across the country. For petrol and diesel, since 27th May 2026, about 12,307 litres of petrol and 91,263 litres of diesel have been seized, with more than 50 FIRs registered and 39 persons arrested. In the last 4 days, penalties have been imposed on 3 retail outlets, and 866 retail outlets have been suspended for violation of market discipline guidelines.

Maritime Safety and Shipping Operations

The Malta-flagged LNG carrier DISHA (IMO: 9250713), managed by a SCIled consortium, safely transited the Strait of Hormuz on 15th June 2026 while carrying approximately 62,370 MT of LNG cargo bound for Dahej, India. The vessel is expected to reach India on 18th June 2026. The Directorate General of Shipping Control Room has handled 12,737 calls and more than 28,299 emails since activation, with 406 calls and 784 emails received in the last 96 hours. The ministry has facilitated the safe repatriation of more than 3,587 Indian seafarers, including 50 in the last 96 hours. Port operations across India remain normal with no congestion reported.
