Rajasthan Tightens Fertiliser Controls as India Increases Subsidies for Rabi Season
The Rajasthan government has intensified efforts to prevent misuse and diversion of subsidised fertilisers, aiming to protect farmers and ensure affordable supply. The Union Cabinet approved a 64% increase in fertiliser subsidies for the 2026-27 Rabi season, raising the outlay to over Rs 62,000 crore to support nutrient-based fertilisers and domestic manufacturers. This move addresses price disparities and supply challenges amid global disruptions, helping maintain crop production and farmer affordability despite fiscal pressures.
