National Fertilizer Ltd. of India called a urea tender Oct. 25 to close Oct. 31 and with awarded product to be shipped by Dec. 20.
The tender was expected after RCF awarded 426,000 mt in its tender form earlier this month. After the RCF tender awards, sources estimated India will still need slightly more than 500,000 mt to close out the current application season.
NFL and RCF were granted special permission to import urea this quarter by the Indian government. Normally only MMTC, IPL and STC import the highly subsidized product.
