Under the Urea Subsidy Scheme, Urea is provided to the farmers at a statutorily notified Maximum Retail Price (MRP). The MRP of 45 kg bag of urea is Rs.242 per bag  (exclusive  of  charges  towards  neem  coating  and  taxes  as  applicable).  The difference between the delivered cost of urea at farm gate and net market realization by  the  urea  units  is  given  as  subsidy  to  the  urea  manufacturer/importer  by  the Government  of  India.  Accordingly,  all  farmers  are  being  supplied  urea  at  the subsidized rate.

(c): The  availability  of  fertilizers  viz.  Urea,  DAP,  MOP  and  NPK  has  remained adequate in the country including the State of Kerala during the last three FYs i.e. 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25. The information regarding requirement, availability and sales of these fertilizers during the said period is placed at Annexure .

(d) & (e): Under the  Urea Subsidy Scheme, Urea is provided to the farmers at a statutorily  notified  Maximum Retail Price (MRP). The MRP of 45 kg bag of urea is Rs.242 per bag (exclusive of charges towards neem coating and taxes as applicable). The  difference  between  the  delivered  cost  of  urea  at  farm  gate  and  net  market realization by the urea units is given as subsidy to the urea manufacturer/importer by the  Government  of  India.  Accordingly,  all  farmers  are  being  supplied  urea  at  the subsidized  rates.  The  Concession  rate  i.e.  normative  cost  of  production  of  Urea consists of two components namely Fixed costs and Variable costs. The fixed Cost component  comprises  of  the  Conversion  cost,  Capital  related  cost  and  selling expenses, which varies from unit to unit whereas variable cost consists of the cost of bag, water and energy cost which is pass-through item. Any change in price of gas impact the urea subsidy burden of the Government.

The Government has implemented Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) Scheme w.e.f. 01.04.2010  for  Phosphatic  and  Potassic  (P&K)  Fertilizers.   Under  NBS  policy,  the subsidy is provided to manufacturer/ importer on notified P&K fertilizers on its PoS sale during the season, depending on their nutrient content to ensure availability of fertilizers to farmers. The Government monitors international prices of key fertilizers and raw materials and fluctuations, if any, are subsumed while fixing NBS rates for P&K fertilizers annually / bi-annually to ensure affordable supply of P&K fertilizers to the farmers. Further, to ensure affordability, special provisions like Rs. 3500 per MT to cover 'Other Costs' which includes costs incurred from factory gate to farm gate, advantage / disadvantage due to increase / decrease in international prices, provision for GST component included in the MRP and provision for reasonable return @ 4% of net MRP (MRP-GST) have been extended to both imported and domestic DAP and imported  TSP  over  and  above  NBS  subsidy  for  Kharif  2025  and  Rabi  2025-26 seasons.

The  following  Steps  are  taken  by  the  Government  every  season  for  ensuring timely  and  adequate  supply  of fertilizers  across  the  country,  including  the  State  of Kerala:

- i. 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  by  DA&FW,  D/o  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 Management 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.
- v. The distribution of fertilizers within the State is done by the respective State Government.

In  addition,  in  order  to  address  the  issues  of  hoarding,  diversion  and  blackmarketing,  fertilizers  are  declared  as  an  essential  commodity  under  the  Essential Commodities  Act,  1955  and  notified  under  Fertilizer  Control  Order,  1985.  State Governments  are  empowered  to  take  action  against  persons  involved  in  said malpractices, as per provisions of EC Act. Any complaints received at Department of Fertilizers level regarding these malpractices is sent to concerned State Government to  take  appropriate  action  under  Essential  Commodities  Act,  1955  and  Fertilizer Control Order, 1985.
