India's Comptroller and Auditor General has started a two-year audit of urea consumption and subsidy efficiency. It identified 169 districts across 15 states where urea use is well above state and national averages.
FY26 fertilizer subsidies reached Rs 2.17 trillion, with urea imports rising sharply.
An audit targeting diversion could tighten urea distribution and reduce subsidized demand over time, while rising import needs keep India a key buyer in global urea markets.
After 26 past neutral policy events, Urea moved a median -1.0% over 5 sessions (27% higher; middle half -4.1% to +0.6%), and -2.5% over 20.
