Indian fertilizer importer and producer Indian Potash Limited (IPL) has issued Letters of Intent (LoI) to 14 suppliers, securing 1.3465 million t of DAP at US$930 - 935/t cfr in a tender that closed on 7 May 2026.
Suppliers are to deliver 581 500 t of DAP to India's east coast and 765 000 t to the west coast. IPL has specified shipment from loading ports by 15 August in the tender.
The quantity secured is above the 1.2 million t that IPL had sought in the tender. The company received offers for 2.325 million t of DAP before asking all suppliers to match the lowest offers submitted at US$935/t cfr east coast and US$930/t cfr west coast India.
The suppliers for the east coast are as follows:
- Indagro: 40 000 t from the US.
- Ameropa: 15 000 t from South Korea.
- Samsung: 50 000 t, open origin.
- Sun International: 40 000 t from the US.

Agricommodities had initially accepted IPL's counterbid prices for up to 600 000 t of DAP from Saudi Arabia. But Argus Media has ascertained that IPL wanted Agricommodities to load all of its cargoes from Red Sea ports, rather than from Ras al-Khair in the Mideast Gulf.
