Abstract: The report highlights how escalating geopolitical tensions, particularly in West Asia, have intensified risks to India's fertiliser and energy security. Disruptions in the Gulf region and the Strait of Hormuz have contributed to sharp spikes in global fertiliser and LNG prices, increasing import costs, domestic production costs, and fiscal pressures through a rising fertiliser subsidy burden. At the same time, structural distortions within India's fertiliser subsidy regime have encouraged excessive nitrogen use, imbalanced nutrient application, declining soil health, and inefficiencies in nutrient-use efficiency.
