1.0 Rainfall

1.1 Pre-monsoon season 2018

Rainfall during 1st March to 25th April of pre-monsoon season 2018 was deficient to the extent of about 18% below Long Period Average (LPA). Actual rainfall for the country as a whole was 50.2 mm as against normal of 61.2 mm during the period. Out of 36 meteorological sub-divisions, 20 sub-divisions received normal to excess rains and 16 sub-divisions received deficient rains.

The live storage in 91 major reservoirs as on 26th April, 2018 was 37.11 BCM as against 43.89 BCM on 26th April, 2017 (last year). Current year’s storage is 85% of the last year’s storage and 90% of the normal storage.

1.2 Prospects of South-west monsoon 2018

According to 1st stage forecasts of India Meteorological Department (IMD) released on 16th April, 2018, quantitatively, rainfall during South-west monsoon 2018 is expected to be normal at 97% of LPA with a model error of 5%. The forecast also suggests maximum probability for normal monsoon rainfall (96-104% of LPA) and low probability for deficient rainfall during the season. As per IMD, the moderate La Nina conditions developed in the equatorial Pacific during last year started weakening in the early part of this year and currently have turned to weak La Nina conditions. IMD will update its 2nd stage forecast in early June 2018.

2.0 Fertiliser Scenario –2017-18 (April/March)

2.1 Production

During 2017-18, among major fertilisers, production of DAP and NP/NPKs recorded increase whereas urea and SSP decreased. Production of DAP at 4.654 million metric tonnes (MMT) and NP/NPKS at 8.262 MMT during 2017-18 increased by 7.4% and 4.3%, respectively, over 2016-17 (April/March). However, the production of urea at 24.026 MMT and SSP at 3.896 MMT fell by 0.7% and 9.3%, respectively, during the same period. Fig.1 shows estimated production of major fertilisers during 2017-18 as compared to 2016-17.

4.0 Crop Situation – Rabi 2017-18

As per latest information available on sowing of Rabi crops, around 103.1 per cent of the normal area of full rabi season has been sown upto 9th February 2018. Area sown under all rabi crops taken together has been reported to be 64.29 million hectares (Mha) at All-India level during 1st October to 9th February, 2018 as compared to 64.82 Mha in the corresponding period of last year. Total area sown under foodgrains was 56.20 million hectares (Mha) which was marginally (0.2%) lower than the corresponding period of the previous year. Area sown under wheat declined by 4.3%, coarse cereals by 1.4%. and total oilseeds by 4.7% during the period. The area under rice and pulses, however, increased 16.7% and 5.3%, respectively, during the period. The progress in coverage under rabi crops upto 9th February, 2018 is shown in Table 2.

Note: Totals may not exactly tally due to rounding of figures.

5.0 Production of foodgrains and commercial crops- 2017-18

Government of India has released second advance estimates of production of foodgrains and other principal crops for 2017-18. Total foodgrains production estimated at 277.49 million tonnes in 2017-18 is expected to increase by 0.9% over 2016-17. Increase in production is attributed to rise in production of rice, coarse cereals and pulses while wheat may see a marginal fall in production. Production of sugarcane and cotton may increase whereas oilseeds and jute & mesta may witness a fall in production. Table 3 shows details of production of principal crops in 2017-18 and compares with 2016-17.

6.0 Policy Developments

6.1 Rationalising the size of urea bag and matter connected thereto

Government issued a notification in September 2017 giving approval to replace existing 50 kg bag of urea to 45 kg bag of urea. A period of six months was given as a lead time to ensure smooth implementation of the policy. Subsequently, Department of Agriculture, Cooperation and Farmers Welfare notified price per bag of 45 kg on 1st March 2018. Further, a period of two months’ extension from the date of notification of MRP of 45 kg bag of urea has been given as lead time to implement the introduction of 45 kg bag of urea. A copy of the DoF letter dated 9th March, 2018 regarding extension of period and gazette notification regarding retail price of 45 kg bag of urea are enclosed as Annex I.

6.2 Domestic natural gas price – April-September 2018

Domestic natural gas prices have been consistently falling from second half of 2014-15 until first half of 2017-18. It declined successively from US$ 5.05 per MMBTU during November’14 / March’15 to US$ 2.48 per MMBTU during April/Sept’17. However, it has increased to US$ 3.06 per MMBTU during the period April-September 2018. Table 4 shows changes in domestic gas prices from November 2014 after New Domestic Natural Gas Pricing Guidelines, 2014 was issued.

Table 4: Domestic Natural Gas Prices on Gross Calorific Value (GCV) basis

Period Price in US$ per MMBTU

November 2014 to March 2015 5.05

April 2015 to September 2015 4.66

October 2015 to March 2016 3.82






However, the availability of natural gas from domestic sources has been going down progressively over the years. Currently, only 40% of the total requirement of gas for fertiliser manufacture is available from domestic sources and balance 60% is fulfilled from imported LNG. Imported LNG is costlier than domestic gas. Hence, current pooled price of gas from all sources is above US$ 10 per million BTU.

6.3 Revision of energy norms under New Urea Policy (NUP)-2015

Department of Fertilizers, Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers issued a notification of 28th

March, 2018 regarding revision of energy norms under new urea policy-2015. The following

decision has been taken with regard to target energy norms which were given to all urea

manufacturing units (except BVFCL):

(i) For 11 urea manufacturing units, the target energy consumption norms as mentioned

in Para 3.2 of NUP-2015, will come into force w.e.f. 1st April, 2018


7 FAI, New Delhi

(ii) For remaining 14 urea manufacturing units, the target period have been extended for

2 years i.e. till 31st March, 2020. Penalty will be levied equivalent to 2% energy of

difference between NUP Energy norms and Target Energy norms of NUP 2015 for

the first year, i.e.,2018-19 and 5% for 2nd year i.e. 2019-20.

(iii) The aforesaid target energy norms may be continued upto 31st March, 2025.

(iv) The three naphtha based urea units are also allowed the existing energy norms for

another two years i.e. till 31st March, 2020 or till these units get the gas pipeline

connectivity, whichever is earlier.

A copy of notification in this regard is enclosed as Annex II.

6.4 Revision of dealer/ distribution margin in respect of urea sale effected through private

agencies and institutional agencies w.e.f. 1st April, 2018

Department of Fertilizers, Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers issued a notification of 28th

March, 2018 regarding revision of dealer/ distribution margin in respect of urea sale effected

through private agencies and institutional agencies w.e.f. 1st April, 2018. The revised rate of

dealer/ distribution margin has been fixed at Rs. 354 per MT w.e.f. 1st April, 2018 for sale of

urea (indigenous and imported) through private trade as well as institutional agencies. It is to be

noted that the dealer/ distribution margin will be paid to the dealer on the quantity sold through

POS devices only. A copy of the notification is enclosed as Annex III.

6.5 Implementation of Nutrient Based Subsidy for P & K Fertilisers, revision in the NBS rates

for 2018-19 and other issues The Department of Fertilizers (DoF), Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers issued an O.M. on 16th April, 2018 notifying the nutrient based subsidy rates for 2018-19. The rates of NBS per kg of nutrient for 2018-19 compared with 2017-18 are given below.

P 11.997 15.216 3.219

K 12.395 11.124 -1.271

S 2.240 2.722 0.482

Accordingly, the per MT subsidy rates for DAP, MOP and SSP for 2018-19 compared with 2017-18 are given in the following table.

Fertiliser NBS (Rs. per tonne of product) Increase/Decrease (Rs/tonne of product) 2017-18 2018-19
