Searches for India sulfur price, India CFR sulphur, or sulfur price in India usually mean granular import offers landed on the west and east coasts, quoted USD per metric tonne CFR, distinct from domestic refinery list prices in rupees or Middle East FOB contract postings.

India is one of the largest seaborne sulfur outlets globally. Term buyers tie nominations to QatarEnergy QSP, KPC KSP, and ADNOC monthly FOB postings on the Middle East sulfur contract price page, then add freight and insurance into Kandla, Mundra, Vizag, and other discharge ports. Canadian formed sulfur from Vancouver competes on the same desk when Pacific freight and Chinese replacement cost open an arbitrage window.

As of 3 November 2026 the freshest open India CFR granular band on Sulfur Wire remains ChemPriceHub's 16 October international roundup, which reported CFR India at 880 to 894 dollars per tonne for the 15 October market, mid 887 dollars on index SR-CFR-INDIA in prices-latest.json, down from 930 to 980 dollars the prior week in the same open note. No fresher verified public India CFR print cleared on ChemPriceHub, ChemNet, or Argus open headlines on the 3 November desk pass.

Demand runs through phosphates: diammonium phosphate and monoammonium phosphate plants consume sulfur via sulfuric acid. When DAP margins compress, Indian import tenders slow even if Gulf FOB contracts fall. See sulfur phosphate fertilizer demand for the MAP and DAP chain context.

Alberta desks watch India CFR when Middle East spot undercuts contract and Vancouver stems need a second outlet beyond China. ChemPriceHub's same mid-October summary placed Vancouver FOB granular at 830 to 840 dollars per tonne while Middle East spot FOB ex-Iran sat near 740 to 790 dollars, framing the competition India buyers arbitrage.

FAQ

What is the India sulfur price today?

The latest open CFR India granular anchor on Sulfur Wire is 887 dollars per tonne mid (880 to 894 dollar band) for the 15 October 2026 market per ChemPriceHub's 16 October roundup, tagged SR-CFR-INDIA in prices-latest.json as of 3 November 2026.

How is India sulfur price quoted?

Import tenders and trade-press roundups cite CFR Indian ports in USD per metric tonne for formed granular sulfur. Middle East producer contracts remain FOB Ras Laffan, Kuwait, or Ruwais in USD per tonne on a separate line.

Why does India matter for Middle East and Canadian sulfur?

India absorbs large volumes of Gulf granular sulfur for acid and fertilizer plants, alongside China and Southeast Asia. When India CFR softens, Gulf spot can disconnect further below contract postings and Vancouver exporters face sharper competition for Pacific stems.

How does India sulfur price relate to phosphate demand?

Sulfur imports feed sulfuric acid plants that supply phosphate fertilizer complexes. Weak DAP economics typically slow Indian import enquiries even when FOB Middle East contracts fall, linking sulfur CFR to fertilizer margins on the sulfur phosphate fertilizer demand topic page.
