# DAP prices set to increase by Rs 200 per bag from January

> DAP prices in India are expected to rise by up to Rs 200 per 50-kg bag from January 2025, from about Rs 1,350 to Rs 1,550. The increase follows the expiry of a government import incentive of Rs 3,500 per tonne on December 31 and a weaker rupee, which lifted import costs.

## Why it matters

Higher landed DAP costs in India reduce import pull and raise domestic fertilizer prices, a signal that global phosphate demand from India may tighten. The rupee weakness adds to upward pressure on import parity.
