## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CHEMICALS & FERTILIZERS

## (SMT. ANUPRIYA PATEL)

(a): No.  The availability of DAP in the country has remained adequate during the ongoing  Rabi  2024-25  season.  However,  the  requirement  of  DAP  assessed  by DA&FW for UT of Dadra and Nagar Haveli during the ongoing Rabi 2024-25 season was NIL, against which 20 Metric Tons was made available to the UT.

- (b): In view of (a) above, question does not arise.

(c)  to  (e):    Before  the  commencement  of  each  cropping  season,  Department  of Agriculture  and  Farmers  Welfare  (DA&FW),  in  consultation  with  all  the  State Governments, assesses the state-wise & month-wise requirement of fertilizers viz. Urea, DAP, MOP and NPKS. On the basis of requirement projected, Department of Fertilizers  allocates  adequate  quantities  of  fertilizers  to  States  by  issuing  monthly supply  plan  to  cater  ongoing  consumption  and  stocks.  The  information  regarding requirement, availability, sales and closing stock of DAP across the States during Rabi 2024-25 season (From 01.10.2024 to 23.03.2025) is placed at Annexure.
