India's Fact pushes back 15-15-15 tender closing date

Indian fertilizer importer Fact has changed the closing date of its reissued tender to buy around 40,000t of 15-15-15 to 5 September from 29 August.

The tender will close at 14:00 Indian Standard Time (IST) on 5 September. Offers are to be opened 30 minutes later.

Fact has made several changes to the details of the reissued tender.

Under its latest terms, the importer is seeking two 18,000-25,000t lots of 15-15-15 — inclusive of quantity tolerances — and arrival at discharge ports on or before 10 November.

It requests delivery of one cargo to Kakinada and the other to Tuticorin, both on India's east coast.

Fact received no offers against its initial 15-15-15 tender, which closed on 9 August.
