La crisis de gas en India impulsa las acciones de fertilizantes en medio del conflicto en Oriente Medio

Mientras las tensiones en Oriente Medio interrumpen los suministros de gas a India, provocando escasez de GLP y subidas de precios, la Orden de Regulación del Gas Natural del gobierno, 2026, prioriza las asignaciones para sectores esenciales como los fertilizantes al 70% del consumo medio. Esto ha provocado un repunte en las acciones de fertilizantes, con ganancias de hasta el 17%.

Las interrupciones derivadas del conflicto en Oriente Medio, incluidos los riesgos para rutas clave como el Estrecho de Ormuz, han provocado escasez de gas en ciudades indias y fuertes subidas en los precios del GLP doméstico y comercial. Industrias como los fertilizantes, restaurantes y manufactura enfrentan restricciones intensificadas. La Orden de Regulación del Gas Natural del gobierno indio, 2026, responde priorizando el gas para sectores críticos. Las plantas de fertilizantes recibirán el 70% de su consumo medio para mantener la producción de amoníaco y urea en medio de suministros inciertos de GNL. Los mercados reaccionaron al alza: Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers (RCF) y Fertilisers and Chemicals Travancore (FACT) subieron hasta un 17%, mientras que Coromandel International, Chambal Fertilisers & Chemicals, Deepak Fertilisers & Petrochemicals y Paradeep Phosphates también registraron fuertes ganancias. La orden se ve como una garantía para la producción de fertilizantes, vital para la agricultura. Esta intervención subraya la exposición de India a los shocks energéticos globales, con posibles medidas adicionales a medida que evoluciona la crisis.
