The USD 1 bn scheme is close to its end date of 30 September. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What we know:<\/strong> The support program covers over 10k products from agriculture to engineering goods, offering rebates on tax and other levies up to 4% of the product's value. While the government was gradually rolling back the scheme before the war\u2014slashing incentives by 50% in the national budget for the current fiscal year\u2014a heavy drop in exports has prompted the finance and commerce ministries to evaluate increase to incentive rates, an expansion of overall funding, and a five-year extension to the scheme's run time. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> The move follows mounting stress on exporters facing elevated logistics costs and disruptions to Gulf shipping routes.

Some 18 companies offered the fertilizer at prices ranging between USD 930 and USD 1.1k per tonne, compared to USD 670 per tonne in February as input costs continue to surge globally. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong>Inflated prices are primarily driven by surging costs for sulfur, a critical input for phosphate production.

With half of global sulfur supply originating in the Gulf, India's dependency here is highly concentrated. Benchmark sulfur prices are now at decade-highs, further squeezing downstream fertilizer margins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Enough suppliers, elevated pricing: <\/strong>The companies offered nearly 2.3 mn tonnes\u2014double the required volume\u2014indicating supplies are adequate.
