Import Costs Ki Wajah Se Subsidy Ka Bill Badha
Toh hua yun hai ki West Asia mein jo situation chal rahi hai, uske karan Urea, Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP), aur NPK complex fertilizers import karna kaafi costly ho gaya hai. Global prices mein ye spike India ki fertilizer subsidy bill mein lagbhag ₹70,000 Crore ka addition kar sakta hai FY26-27 ke liye. Is hisab se, total subsidy ka kharcha ₹2.41 lakh Crore ho sakta hai, jo ki budgeted ₹1.71 lakh Crore se kafi zyada hai.
Kharif Season Ke Liye Supply Ki Guarantee
Abhi paiso ki dikkat ke bawajood, government officials ne clear kar diya hai ki upcoming kharif agricultural season ke liye fertilizers ki availability bilkul secure hai. Currently, domestic stocks total requirement ke 51% se zyada hain. India apne import sources ko bhi diversify kar raha hai taaki Strait of Hormuz jaise chokepoints ko avoid kiya ja sake. Iske liye, alternative shipping routes se 22 lakh tonnes se zyada fertilizers book bhi ho chuke hain.
Domestic Production Aur Procurement Par Update
Jahan domestic fertilizer production lagbhag 80,000 tonnes per day chal raha hai, wahi West Asia crisis shuru hone ke baad se ye pichhle saal ke comparison mein thoda kam hua hai. Department of Fertilizers aane wale mahinon mein is shortfall ko cover karne ki koshish kar raha hai. Iske alawa, DAP aur NPK fertilizers ke bade volumes consortium-based procurement se secure kiye gaye hain. Urea manufacturing ke liye zaroori gas supply bhi available batai ja rahi hai.
