Balaji Amines halts plants due to ammonia shortage from Middle East war

Key ammonia suppliers invoked force majeure due to liquefied natural gas (LNG) shortages

  • By ICN Bureau | March 14, 2026

Balaji Amines Limited faces significant production disruptions as the ongoing Middle East conflict severely impacts global shipping, logistics, and supply chains.

Key ammonia suppliers invoked force majeure due to liquefied natural gas (LNG) shortages, halting ammonia deliveries essential for manufacturing methylamines, ethylamines, and derivatives. Several company plants are currently non-operational as a result.

Financial and operational effects remain unquantifiable at present; Balaji Amines is actively negotiating alternatives with suppliers while monitoring the crisis closely for material updates to stock exchanges.
