The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has approved proposal of the Department of Fertilisers for fixing the Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS), rates for Kharif season 2026, from April 1 to September 30, 2026, on Phosphatic and Potassic (P&K) fertilisers.
The tentative budgetary requirement for Kharif season 2026 would be approximately Rs 41,533.81 crore. This is approximate Rs 4,317 crore more than the budgetary requirement for Kharif 2025 season. The budget for Kharif 2025 was Rs 37,216.15 crore.
Benefits: Availability of fertilisers to farmers at subsidised, affordable and reasonable prices will be ensured.
Implementation Strategy and targets: The subsidy on P&K fertilisers including DAP and NPKS grades will be provided based on approved rates for Kharif 2026, to ensure smooth availability of these fertilisers to the farmers at affordable prices.
