(a) to (e) Following steps are taken by the Government every season for ensuring

timely and adequate availability of fertilizers in the country:

(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 fertilizers 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) Regular coordination is done 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/block level is done by the concerned State government.

In view of above, the availability of fertilizers viz. Urea, DAP, MOP and NPKS has remained adequate in the country during the ongoing Kharif 2026 season. The State- wise information regarding availability position of these fertilizers in last 3 years and during the ongoing Kharif 2026 season (as on 03.08.2026) is placed at Annexure.

Crore) Financial Year 2023-24 2024-25 2025-26 Amount disbursed 195420.51 177129.50 217175.73 Further, the Government is promoting sustainable and balanced use of fertilizers through judicious use of synthetic fertilizers, adopting alternate fertilizers, promoting organic/natural farming and implementing resource conservation technologies. Soil test based recommendations in conjunction with organic fertilizer and bio-fertilizers is holds the key for balanced used of fertilizers. Further, the Government is implementing various schemes such as National Mission on Natural Farming, Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY), Namami Gange, Bhartiya Prakritik Krishi Padhati (BPKP), Mission Organic Value Chain Development for North- Eastern Region (MOVCDNER), NationalProject on Organic Farming (NPOF) etc., farmers are provided assistance for use of organic and bio-fertilizers. Further, National Centre for Organic and Natural Farming

(NCONF) is involved in awareness generation & training activities for promotion of organic farming. Achieving balanced fertilization requires a multi-pronged strategy that integrates policy, technology, and farmer participation. The following measures have

been adopted for balanced use of fertilizers: i. Balanced use of fertilizer is promoted under the Soil Health & Fertility Scheme, being implemented since 2014-15. Under the scheme, Soil Health Cards (SHCs) are generated which provide nutrient status of soil, based on which crop-wise fertilizer recommendations are provided to farmers, thereby promoting balanced and efficient nutrient management. SHC helps in enhancing crop productivity, reduce cultivation costs, and promote sustainable agriculture. So far, 26.09 crore Soil Health Cards have been generated and issued to farmers. 130627 farmer’s trainings, 7.17 lakh demonstrations, 7425 farmer’s Melas/ campaigns on soil health card recommendations have been organized across the country.

ii. National Mission on Natural Farming (NMNF) was approved by the Union Cabinet on 25 November 2024. NMNF promotes chemical-free, nature-based farming practices using on-farm inputs. Under the scheme, 23.13 lakh farmers have been registered and 11.44 lakh hectares area have been covered, iii. Special awareness Campaign and Khet Bachao Abhiyan on balanced use of fertilizers have been conducted by Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare (DA&FW) and ICAR during the current Kharif Season 2026 wherein total 2,94,554 programs covering 1,36,73,465 farmers have been achieved. During the campaign, farmers have also been made aware on Natural/Organic Farming, bio- inputs, alternative fertilizers etc.

iv. Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY) is implemented since 2015-16. PKVY promotes organic farming by providing end-to-end support covering production, processing, certification, and marketing. So far, 18.93 lakh hectares have been brought under organic farming and 33.63 lakh farmers have been benefited.

v. Mission Organic Value Chain Development for North Eastern Region

(MOVCDNER) is implemented since 2015-16 to promote organic farming in North Eastern States. So far, 2.36 lakh hectares have been brought under organic farming and 2.74 lakh farmers have been benefited.

vi. The Government also promotes Soil Organic Carbon Enhancer namely, Fermented Organic Manure (FOM) /Liquid Fermented Organic Manure (LFOM) as a part of judicious use of fertilizers. During 2024-25, the annual consumption of FOM/LFOM was 3.36 LMT. During the current Kharif Season (1.4.2026 to

16.7.2026), the consumption of FOM/LFOM is 11.86 LMT.

Besides, the Government has approved Market Development Assistance (MDA) Scheme (FY 2023-24 to 2025-26) under which assistance @ Rs. 1500/MT is being

provided to CBG plants/Fertilizer Marketing Companies for promotion of organic carbon enhancers, viz., Fermented Organic Manure (FOM)/Liquid Fermented Organic Manure

(LFOM) and organic fertilizer, viz., Phosphate Rich Organic Manure (PROM) produced at plants under GOBARdhan initiative, with total outlay of Rs.1451.84 Crore (FY 2023- 24 to 2025-26), which includes, a corpus of Rs. 360 Crore for research gap funding, etc.These initiatives of the Government are expected to address the imbalanced use of chemical fertilizers thereby reducing chemical fertilizer use.

Year-wise MDA released on sale of FOM/LFOM/PROM during the last three years and current year, as on 06.08.2026, is as under:

• Use of Nano Fertilizers is promoted through different activities such as awareness camps, webinars, field demonstrations, Kisan Sammelans and films in regional languages etc. • Nano Fertilizers, like Nano Urea and Nano DAP, are made available at Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samridhi Kendras (PMKSKs) by concerned companies.

• For ease in application and utilization of Nano fertilizers, like Nano Urea and Nano DAP, through foliar application, initiatives such as innovative spraying options like 'Kisan Drones' and distribution of battery operated sprayers at retail points are undertaken. For this purpose, pilot training and custom hiring spraying services through Village Level Entrepreneurs are actively promoted.

In addition to this, Kisan Sangoshthis are conducted by the fertilizer companies for extensive field interaction with farmers, local farmer cooperatives, panchayats etc. 24 Fertilizer Marketing Companies (FMCs) conducted 23,389 Camps/Kisan Sangoshthis across the Country during February 2025 to June 2026 . Camps/Kian Sangoshthis are being organised for promotion of FOM/LFOM/PROM under PM-PRANAM by the Fertilizer companies. This initiative focuses on critical areas such as balanced use of fertilizers, integrated nutrient management (INM), promotion of organic farming, and soil health improvement. Awareness activities for farmers include demonstrations on the application of FOM, LFOM, PROM, Potash Derived from Molasses (PDM). This camps also feature technical sessions on appropriate fertilizer dosages, crop-specific application techniques, and the benefits of organic inputs. The program aims to enhance farmers understanding of INM, encourage adoption of balanced nutrient practices, and strengthen outreach and credibility through demonstration plots and interactive farmer engagement. The Government is regularly coordinating with State and Union Territory Governments to support and promote their efforts under this scheme.
