Yara India has reinforced its long-term commitment to advancing sustainable, innovative crop nutrition solutions and digitally enabled agricultural growth in the country.
The company is stepping up efforts to modernise farm inputs and strengthen last-mile delivery systems through deeper digital integration and expanded R&D in biologicals.
As part of this push, Yara is enhancing last-mile product traceability by onboarding a majority of its key channel partners onto the Retailer Ordering System (ROS), a key feature of Yara Connect, the retailer-facing mobile application.
With rising demand for biological solutions in agriculture, the company is also scaling its R&D efforts to expand its biologicals portfolio and introduce more advanced, sustainable products for farmers across India.
Marking 15 years of operations in India, the company said the milestone reflects the depth of its partnerships, the scale of its impact, and the foundation it has built to shape the future of Indian agriculture.
Over this period, Yara India has pushed sustainability through responsible manufacturing, digital advisory tools, soil health initiatives, and collaborations with FPOs, research institutes, and government partners.
A major turning point came with its 2018 acquisition of the Babrala urea facility, described as the largest standalone FDI in India’s regulated fertiliser sector, which today enables high-quality production and supports efficient logistics across key agricultural regions.
The company has also driven supply-chain innovation through India’s first premium fertiliser rake movement and a first-of-its-kind premium vessel movement, setting new benchmarks for efficiency and delivery standards.
Reflecting on the milestone, Sanjiv Kanwar, Managing Director, Yara South Asia, said, “Our journey in India has been guided by a clear purpose, to responsibly feed the world and protect the planet.
"Over the past 15 years, we have partnered closely with farmers, governments, and industry stakeholders to drive sustainable, innovation led agricultural growth. India remains a strategic market for Yara, and as we look ahead, our focus is on deepening our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and farmer prosperity.”
The company’s progress has also been strengthened through international cooperation.
Chargé d’Affaires Arvinn Gagdil, Deputy Ambassador Royal Norwegian Embassy in Delhi, said, “Yara’s 15-year journey in India reflects the strong and growing cooperation between India and Norway in advancing sustainable agriculture. Through innovation, technology, and farmer engagement, Yara has made significant contributions to the sector, and we look forward to continued collaboration in the years ahead.”
