These exports, however, are subject to prior permission/no objection certificate to be obtained by the manufacturers/exporters from the Department of Fertiliser, it said. The Indian government has relaxed restrictions on the export of fertilisers including urea, potassic and phosphatic, moving the products from a "restricted" category to "free" category. India is one of only two countries in Asia that still restricts imports of these products. As for imports of fertilisers, so far this fiscal year from April to November 2018, the country has imported 2.753 million mt of diammonium phosphate (DAP), 404,000 mt of nitrogen phosphorus potassium (NPK) and 2.753 million mt of muriate of potash (MOP).
