Union Cabinet approves Rs 41,534 crore fertiliser subsidy for Kharif 2026, supporting farmers and stabilising prices of phosphatic and potassic fertilisers.
The Union cabinet has given the green light to nutrient-based subsidy rates for phosphatic and potassic fertilisers for the upcoming kharif 2026 season. In a move aimed at supporting farmers, an allocation of Rs 41,534 crore has been earmarked.
The decision is intended to shield farmers from the volatility of global prices and ensure that fertilisers are readily available. The government has affirmed its commitment to maintaining a consistent supply of fertilisers at reasonable prices.
By approving this subsidy, the government aims to alleviate the financial burden on farmers and promote sustained agricultural productivity throughout the kharif season.
