However, the distribution of fertilizers within the State at district level is done by the respective State Government.

Accordingly, as per information received from the State Government of Telangana, fertilizers are distributed through token system duly verifying the genuineness of the farmers through their Pattadar Pass Books. To overcome this, the Government has introduced IT based solution of Mobile based Urea Booking app which facilitates the farmers to prebook the fertilizers from their home.

(d) The details of total expenditure incurred under the subsidy scheme of various fertilizers,  namely  Indigenous  P&K,  Imported  P&K,  Imported  Urea  and  Indigenous Urea, during the last year 2024-25 is as under:
