Further, the following steps are taken by the Government every season for ensuring timely  and  adequate  availability  of  fertilizers  in  the  country  including  the  State  of Haryana:

- 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.

ii. On  the  basis  of  requirement  projected,  Department  of  Fertilizers  allocates adequate  quantities  of  fertilizers  to  States  by  issuing  monthly  supply  plan  and continuously monitors the availability.

iii. The movement of all major subsidized fertilizers is monitored throughout the country  by  an  on-line  web  based  monitoring  system  called  integrated  Fertilizer Monitoring System (iFMS);

iv. Regular Weekly Video Conference is conducted jointly by DA&FW and D/o Fertilizers  with  State  Agriculture  Officials  and  corrective  actions  are  taken  to dispatch fertilizers as indicated by the State Governments.

However, the distribution of fertilizers within the State at district level is done by the respective State Government.  Accordingly, as per the information received from the State Govt. of Haryana, the information regarding availability of fertilizers in the State of Haryana including Sonipat District during Kharif 2024 and Rabi 2024-25 up to 18.03.2025 is placed at Annexure .

(d): Government  of  India  has  implemented  Direct  Benefit  Transfer  (DBT)  in Fertilizers  across  all  States/UTs  with  effect  from  March,  2018.  Under  the  DBT system, the sale of subsidized fertilizers is on the basis of Adhaar authentication of buyers through Point of Sale (PoS) devices installed at Fertilizers retail shop.

(e): The  details  of  the  fertilizers  made  available  in  the  districts  of  Haryana including Sonipat during Kharif 2024 and Rabi 2024-25 up to 18.03.2025 is placed at Annexure.
