The benchmark Tampa ammonia contract fell $110 per metric tonne month-on-month in late June, followed by a further $30 cut for August, signalling a shift from scarcity to surplus, according to Systematix Institutional Research. Analysts say the decline eases pressure on non-urea fertiliser makers like Coromandel International and Paradeep Phosphates. However, elevated sulphur costs continue to squeeze margins. Varun Gogia of Icra noted that ammonia prices are still 20% above pre-West Asia crisis levels and that constrained sulphur availability keeps demand under check. For complex fertiliser companies, ammonia contributes less than 20% of input costs, limiting the relief, said Elara Capital.
