Fertiliser  Subsidy Backlog is likely to get reduced in CY20

The outlook for fertiliser sales in the current rabi season remains healthy with DAP/NPK offtake expected to grow at a robust pace as there has been significant moderation in the retail prices Y-o-Y driven by a fall in the raw material prices. Urea demand is expected to remain stable as the offtake by farmers remain more or less uniform , given fixed and low retail price.
