The Government–IMMA Roundtable Discussion will bring together senior policymakers, government representatives, and industry leaders to deliberate on policy reforms aimed at enhancing the global competitiveness of India's micronutrient and specialty fertilizer industry.

As India's leading industry association representing manufacturers of micronutrients, specialty fertilizers, customized fertilizers, plant nutrition products, and bio-stimulants, IMMA will present key industry concerns regarding existing export approval mechanisms and their impact on export growth. The discussion will focus on creating a differentiated regulatory framework for non-subsidized specialty fertilizers, micronutrients, water-soluble fertilizers, and customized plant nutrition products.

Key themes include;

1) One Nation, One Licence – Centralised FCO Data Stack

2) GST 2.0 – Uniform 5% Rate for All FCO Fertilizers and Biostimulants.

3) Inverted Duty Structure and Time-Bound Refunds

4) GST Alignment and Removal of Anomalies

5) Licensing Complexity and Compliance Burden

6) Biostimulant Sector Expansion and Specification Overlap

7) Guidelines for Liquids and Advanced Formulations

8) Leveraging NABL-Accredited Private Laboratories

9) Decriminalization and Ease of Doing Business

The roundtable will serve as an important platform for constructive dialogue between industry and government, supporting the objectives of Ease of Doing Business, Make in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, and increased agricultural input exports. Participants will explore practical policy interventions that can unlock export opportunities, promote value-added manufacturing, generate foreign exchange earnings, and reinforce India's role as a trusted global supplier of advanced crop nutrition solutions.

The session aims to foster collaborative policy development and identify actionable pathways for accelerating the growth of India's specialty fertilizer and plant nutrition ecosystem.
