# India secures close to 750,000t of urea as Egyptian producers commit en masse

> India's MMTC bought 741,500 tonnes of urea in a tender, well above the earlier April purchase of 375,000 tonnes. Supply came from the Arab Gulf, Egypt, Indonesia and other origins, with offers in the low-to-mid $260s per tonne fob, while direct Iranian shipments were blocked by US sanctions. The shipments are due by a June 24 deadline.

## Why it matters

Large Indian buying absorbs significant export supply and supports global urea prices, with sanctions limiting one major origin. Buyers should expect firm urea pricing while the tender volume is shipped.
