Cabinet nod to non-urea subsidy of Rs 37,216 cr for kharif 2025



About

The Union Cabinet has approved a ₹37,216 crore subsidy for phosphatic and potassic (P&K) fertilizers for the Kharif 2025 season (April-September) under the Nutrient-Based Subsidy (NBS) mechanism. 


This decision aims to shield farmers from global price fluctuations, ensuring that the maximum retail price (MRP) of key fertilizers like diammonium phosphate (DAP) remains stable at ₹1,350 per 50 kg bag.









The allocation for NBS in the upcoming Kharif season is ₹13,000 crore higher than that of the previous Rabi season (2024-25). 

This increase reflects the government's commitment to maintaining affordable fertilizer prices for farmers despite international market volatility. 


The annual domestic production of DAP is approximately 4.5 to 4.8 million tonnes, while the demand ranges between 10 to 11 million tonnes, necessitating imports primarily from West Asia and Jordan








The government has set the subsidy rates for the Kharif 2025 season at ₹43.02 per kg for nitrogen (N) and ₹43.6 per kg for phosphorus (P). 


This strategic move is designed to ensure that farmers have access to essential fertilizers at consistent and affordable prices, thereby supporting agricultural productivity during the crucial Kharif season
