## ( SMT. ANUPRIYA PATEL )

- (a) to (d) Following steps are taken by the Government every season for ensuring timely  and  adequate  availability  of  fertilizers  in  the  country,  including  in  the  State  of Karnataka:
- (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. The requirement of fertilizers is assessed taking into account the projected gross cropped area, irrigated area, last three seasons' consumption pattern and crop wise recommended dose of fertilizers as per soil Health fertility status etc. On the basis of requirement projected,

Department  of  Fertilizers  allocates  adequate  quantities  of  fertilizers  to  States  by issuing monthly supply plan.

- (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) The State Governments are regularly advised to coordinate with manufacturers and importers for streamlining the supplies through timely placement of indents.
- (v) Regular coordination meetings are held with Ministry of Railways for giving sufficient rakes, priority to fertilizers and for timely evacuation of rakes for States.
- (vi) The gap between demand (requirement) and Indigenous production of fertilizers is met through imports well in advance to ensure adequate and timely availability of fertilizers in the country.

In view of above, the information regarding requirement, availability and sales of these fertilizers across the States during the ongoing Rabi 2025-26 season (from 01.10.2025 to 18.03.2026) is placed at Annexure-A. Further,  the  information  regarding  requirement, availability and sales of these fertilizers in the country during the last 3 years is as under:

Besides  the  details  of  fertilizer  production  in  the  country  for  last  3  years  is  placed  at Annexure-B.

With regard to Urea, the Government had announced New Investment Policy (NIP) 2012 on 2nd January, 2013 and its amendment on 7thOctober, 2014 to facilitate fresh investment in the urea sector and to make India self-sufficient in the urea sector. Total 6 new urea units have been set up under NIP-2012 which includes 4 urea units set up through Joint Venture Companies (JVC) of nominated PSUs and 2 urea units set up by the private companies. The units set up through JVC are Ramagundam urea unit of Ramagundam Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd (RFCL) in Telangana and 3 urea units namely  Gorakhpur,  Sindri  and  Barauni  of  Hindustan  Urvarak  &  Rasayan  Limited

(HURL) in Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar, respectively. The units set up by private companies are Panagarh urea unit of Matix Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd. (Matix) in West Bengal; and Gadepan-III urea unit of Chambal Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd. (CFCL) in Rajasthan. Each of these units has installed capacity of 12.7 Lakh Metric Tonne per annum (LMTPA). These units are highly energy efficient as they are based on  latest  technology.  Therefore,  these  units  have  together  added  urea  production capacity of 76.2 LMTPA, thereby total indigenous urea production capacity (Reassessed Capacity, RAC) has increased from 207.54 LMTPA during 2014-15 to 283.74 LMTPA during 2023-24. . Further, an exclusive policy for the revival of Talcher unit of FCIL through JVC of nominated PSUs namely Talcher Fertilizers Limited (TFL) by setting up a new Greenfield Urea plant of 12.7 LMTPA at coal gasification route has also been approved. Recently, the Union Cabinet has approved the proposal for setting up of a new Brownfield Ammonia-Urea Complex of 12.7 Lakh Metric Tonnes (LMT) annual capacity of Urea production within the existing premises of Brahmaputra Valley Fertilizer Corporation Limited (BVFCL), Namrup, Assam which will be named as Assam Valley Fertilizer and Chemical Company Ltd. (AVFCCL). These two projects are under execution phase.

In  addition,  the  Government  also  notified  the  New  Urea  Policy  (NUP)  -  2015  on 25thMay, 2015 for the existing 25 gas-based urea units with one of the objectives of maximizing  indigenous  urea  production  beyond  RAC.    The  NUP-2015  has  led  to additional production of urea by 20-25 LMT as compared to the production during 201415 annually.

Further,  an  exclusive  policy  for  the  revival  of  Talcher  unit  of  FCIL  through  JVC  of nominated  PSUs  namely  Talcher  Fertilizers  Limited  (TFL)  by  setting  up  a  new Greenfield urea plant of 12.7 LMTPA at coal gasification route has also been approved. Recently,  the  Union  Cabinet  has  approved  the  proposal  for  setting  up  of  a  new Brownfield Ammonia-Urea Complex of 12.7 Lakh Metric Tonnes (LMT) annual capacity of  Urea  production  within  the  existing  premises  of  Brahmaputra  Valley  Fertilizer Corporation Limited (BVFCL), Namrup, Assam. Both are under execution.

Above steps together have facilitated increase of Urea production from level of 225 LMT per annum during 2014-15 to a record Urea Production at 314.07 LMT during 2023-24. During 2024-25, 306.67 LMT of Urea was produced in the country.

Besides,  the  Government  has  also  implemented  Nutrient  Based  Subsidy  (NBS) Scheme w.e.f. 01.04.2010 for Phosphatic and Potassic (P&K) Fertilizers. Under the Scheme,  P&K  fertilizers  are  covered  under  Open  General  License  (OGL)  and companies  are  free  to  import/manufacture  these  fertilizers  as  per  their  business dynamics.

To reduce dependence on imported Phosphatic fertilizers and make country self-reliant the following measures have been taken by the Government:

(i) D/o Fertilizers has issued guidelines 18.01.2024 to ensure reasonableness of MRP and encourage domestic production.

(ii) Based on the requests, the new manufacturing units or increase in manufacturing capacity  of  existing  units  have  been  recognized  /  taken  on  record  under  the  NBS Scheme.

(iii) The number of P&K fertilizers covered under NBS policy has increased from 22 grades in 2021 to 28 grades.

(iv)  Freight  Subsidy  on  SSP,  which  is  an  indigenously  manufactured  fertilizer,  has been approved since Kharif, 2022 to promote SSP usage for providing Phosphatic or 'P' nutrient to the soil.

Moreover, under DBT in Fertilizers, sale of subsidized fertilizers is made to the Farmers via Point of Sale Machine installed at retail shop. The identity of buyer is authenticated via Aadhaar based authentication. The 100% subsidy is paid to the respective fertilizer Companies on weekly basis in form of DBT Bills. The Integrated Fertilizer Management System  (iFMS)  was  launched  in  June  2016  which  is  a  comprehensive,  all-integrated system  covering  all  functionalities  in  the  fertilizer  supply  chain.  This  comprehensive system covers the entire supply chain, meticulously capturing transactional data from raw material procurement, imports to fertilizer production and transportation via rail or road from plants, rake houses, ports to district warehouses, and finally sale at PoS enabled retailers, everything aligned with monthly supply plans at district level and the movement of fertilizers is being captured in real time. Besides, Department of Fertilizers has also developed a dashboard which can be accessed by authorized users. The dashboard is developed to facilitate easy monitoring by various Stake holders viz. State Agriculture Departments, District Collectors and State Marketing Federations. The State Governments are also monitoring the availability and supply of fertilizers through iFMS and e-Urvarak Dashboard portals. Therefore, implementation of DBT in Fertilizers has improved tranparency, efficiency and timely availability of fertilisers to the farmers.
