C&EN: "Indian fertilizer, specialty chemical industries hit by US-Iran war"

Via C&EN, this bad news (article by Aayushi Pratap): 

India, one of the world’s largest importers of oil and natural gas, is among the countries hardest hit by breaks in the natural gas and petrochemical supply chains caused by Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz in response to attacks by the US and Israel.

In the Indian chemical industry, fertilizer makers were the first affected. Now, even specialty chemical makers are beginning to feel the pain. The woes of both sectors are largely due to the scarce availability of a single molecule: ammonia, a pungent gas that is a lifeline for many chemical plants. India is one of the world’s leading importers of ammonia, with most of its supplies coming from Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.

Mumbai-based Alkyl Amines Chemicals announced March 16 that it has suspended manufacturing of methyl and ethyl amines and their derivatives at three of its sites due to ammonia shortages.

I know that there is a global impact to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, but it is good/helpful to understand who is impacted the most. This article (linked in the C&EN piece) is also helpful for understanding context.
