The international price of sulphur has surged nearly four-fold from $280 per tonne in July 2025 to $1,050 in July 2026, significantly impacting India's import costs. The increase is attributed to rising demand and geopolitical tensions, particularly the Russia-Ukraine war and recent U.S. and Israeli actions in Iran. This spike in prices could affect fertiliser and metals processing sectors.
• Prices crossed $500 per tonne by December 2025
• Rapid escalation began in March 2026
Traders should monitor these developments as they may influence market dynamics in related sectors.
