Fertiliser supply security remains stable as India plans imports, keeps urea and DAP prices unchanged.
India plans substantial imports of urea and other fertilisers for the kharif season in response to higher global prices and supply disruptions linked to the West Asia crisis, while maintaining unchanged retail prices for farmers. The government has stated that urea continues to be sold at the existing controlled price and that there is adequate supply for the season, with imports already received, additional quantities secured through global tender, and further consignments expected to arrive to support availability. Domestic urea production was affected by force majeure on gas deliveries, but higher gas availability has since improved output, and global tenders have been initiated for non-urea fertilisers to ensure peak-season supply.

Our new branch in Nagpur reflects our commitment to delivering exceptional banking solutions right where our customers need us.” As part of the branch launch, Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, together with leadership teams from HSBC India and CORO India, inaugurated a community-led women entrepreneurship project in Vidarbha, aligned to HSBC India’s ongoing corporate social responsibility initiatives in Maharashtra. In Vidarbha, specifically, the bank is supporting community-led, sustainable livelihoods for tribal communities—an intervention designed to build a replicable, community-based model for sustaining livelihoods. The programme is anchored in enabling leadership within tribal communities, so that social-change processes become sustainable and regenerative over the long term.

With the addition of the new branch, HSBC India continues to expand its footprint in the country as it builds out its wealth proposition for clients across International Wealth and Premier Banking, alongside its Corporate and Institutional Banking franchise. HSBC has maintained a strong presence in India for over 170 years, supporting customers in their financial journeys both locally and globally.
