Leading fertiliser cooperative IFFCO on Friday reduced the retail prices of its complex fertilisers including di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) by Rs 50 per bag, amid easing raw materials and manufactured fertilisers prices globally.
“We have cut the retail prices of DAP and all complexes fertilisers taking into account the softening trend in global prices of raw materials and manufactured fertilisers,” IFFCO Managing Director U S Awasthi told PTI.
IFFCO has reduced the maximum retail price of DAP to Rs 1,200 per 50 kg bag from Rs 1,250 a bag, he said. The price of NPK-I complex has been reduced to Rs 1,200 a bag from Rs 1,250 a bag, while the price of NPK-II complex has been slashed to Rs 1,210 per bag from Rs 1,260 per bag.
The price of NP complex has been reduced by Rs 50 to Rs 950 per bag. The new retail prices of DAP and complex fertilisers, that includes GST, have come into effect from October 11, Awasthi added.
However, the retail price of neem coated urea, which is controlled by the government, continues to remain steady at Rs 266.50 per 45 kg bag. IFFCO had last cut the retail prices of DAP and complex fertilisers in July this year.
