# India’s Record Urea Tender Shakes Fertilizer Markets

> India's latest urea tender offered almost 5.6 million tonnes, well above expectations, and StoneX analysts called it a major surprise. Chinese urea exports have risen sharply in 2025, potentially exceeding 4 million tonnes. Buyers are stepping back and delaying purchases as prices come under pressure.

## Why it matters

A surge in offered supply from India and China gives buyers leverage and is expected to push urea prices lower. Weaker purchasing from importers adds further downward pressure in the near term.
