# Urea: Watch for a New Indian Tender and Off-Season Stockpiling

> China’s urea supply remained high as plant utilization increased and producer inventories grew, while demand from fertilizer and melamine producers was weak. India’s previous tender secured 410,000 tonnes against a planned 1.7 million tonnes, prompting expectations of another tender; no new tender had been announced yet.

## Why it matters

Weak domestic demand and rising inventories are bearish for urea, but the prospect of Indian export demand and firm coal costs may limit declines. Prices could respond to the scale and timing of a new tender and domestic reserve buying.
