ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CHEMICALS AND FERTILIZERS (SMT. ANUPRIYA PATEL)

(a) One Nation One Fertilizer scheme stands implemented under “Pradhanmantri Bhartiya Janurvarak Pariyojna” (PMBJP) with effect from 24th August, 2022. All fertilizers companies viz Public sector, Cooperative and Private sector are required to sell subsidized fertilizers under brand name “BHARAT” across the country. The objective of the scheme is to increase the availability basket of fertilizers; take care of dilemma among farmers in choosing from plethora of brands manufactured by various companies available in the markets, reduce the crisscross movement and further ensure timely supply of fertilizers across the country. By consolidating branding under a single “BHARAT” brand, the scheme fosters transparency, combats malpractices, and ensures equitable access to essential nutrients for crops.(b) and (c) Following Steps are taken by the Government every season for ensuring timely and adequate supply of fertilizers across the States/UTs, including the States of

Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan: 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. On the basis of requirement projected by DA&FW, Department of Fertilizers (DoF) allocates adequate quantities of fertilizers to States by issuing monthly supply plan and continuously monitors the availability.

ii. 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). iii. The gap between demand (requirement) and production for Urea & other fertilizer is met through imports. The import for the season is also finalized well in advance to ensure timely availability.

iv. The State Governments are regularly advised to coordinate with manufacturers and importers for streamlining the supplies through timely placement of indents. v. Regularly coordinate with the Ministry of Railways for giving sufficient rakes, priority to fertilizers and for timely evacuation of rakes for States.

vi. The distribution of fertilizers within the State at district level is done by the concerned State government.

Accordingly, the availability of fertilizers i.e. Urea, DAP, MOP and NPKS has remained adequate across the States/UTs, including the States of Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan, during the last two years (i.e. in FYs 2024-25 to 2025-26). The information regarding requirement, availability and sales of these fertilizers across the States/UTs, including the States of Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan, during the said period is placed at Annexure.

The details of demand and supply in the Chittorgarh Parliamentary Constituency, Rajasthan, are as follows: (Qty: MT) Urea DAP NPK Year Demand Supply Demand Supply Demand Supply 2024-25 175502 185058 37983 26785 13958 19894 2025-26 183068 197121 41026 39479 19134 26883
