ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CHEMICALS & FERTILIZERS
(Smt. Anupriya Patel)
(a): The details of year-wise import of fertilizers (Table 1) and the details of the total
expenditure incurred on such imports (Table 2) from 2022-23 to 2025-26 (Upto
January-2026), are as below: --: 2 :-

(b): With regard to Urea, the Government had announced New Investment Policy
(NIP) – 2012 on 2nd January, 2013 and its amendment on 7th October, 2014 to facilitate
fresh investment in the urea sector and to make India self-sufficient in the urea sector.
Total 6 new urea units have been set up under NIP-2012 which includes 4 urea units
set up through Joint Venture Companies (JVC) of nominated PSUs and 2 urea units
set up by the private companies. The units set up through JVC are Ramagundam urea
unit of Ramagundam Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd (RFCL) in Telangana and 3 urea
units namely Gorakhpur, Sindri and Barauni of Hindustan Urvarak & Rasayan Limited
(HURL) in Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar, respectively. The units set up by
private companies are Panagarh urea unit of Matix Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd.
(Matix) in West Bengal; and Gadepan-III urea unit of Chambal Fertilizers and
Chemicals Ltd. (CFCL) in Rajasthan. Each of these units has installed capacity of 12.7
Lakh Metric Tonne per annum (LMTPA). These units are highly energy efficient as
they are based on latest technology. Therefore, these units have together added urea
production capacity of 76.2 LMTPA, thereby total indigenous urea production capacity
(Reassessed Capacity, RAC) has increased from 207.54 LMTPA during 2014-15 to
283.74 LMTPA during 2023-24. Further, an exclusive policy for the revival of Talcher-: 3 :-
unit of FCIL through JVC of nominated PSUs namely Talcher Fertilizers Limited (TFL)
by setting up a new Greenfield Urea plant of 12.7 LMTPA at coal gasification route
has also been approved. Recently, the Union Cabinet has approved the proposal for
setting up of a new Brownfield Ammonia-Urea Complex of 12.7 Lakh Metric Tonnes
(LMT) annual capacity of Urea production within the existing premises of Brahmaputra
Valley Fertilizer Corporation Limited (BVFCL), Namrup, Assam namely Assam Valley
Fertilizer and Chemical Company Ltd. (AVFCCL).
In addition, the Government also notified the New Urea Policy (NUP) – 2015 on 25th
May, 2015 for the existing 25 gas-based urea units with one of the objectives of
maximizing indigenous urea production beyond RAC. The NUP-2015 has led to
additional production of urea by 20-25 LMT as compared to the production during
2014-15 annually.
Above steps together have facilitated increase of Urea production from level of 225
LMT per annum during 2014-15 to a record Urea Production at 314.09 LMT during
2023-24. During 2024-25, 306.67 LMT of Urea was produced in the country.
Year-wise production of Urea, DAP and NPKs in the country from 2022-23 to
2025-26 (Upto Jan 2026), is as below: -

(c) to (e): 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, D/o Fertilizers allocates adequate
quantities of fertilizers to States by issuing monthly supply plan and continuously
monitors the availability. However, the distribution of fertilizers within the State is done
by the respective State Government.
Accordingly, the availability of fertilizers viz. Urea, DAP, MOP and NPKs has remained
adequate across the country during 2022-23 to 2025-26. The information regarding
requirement, availability and sales of these fertilizers during the said period is placed
at Annexures – I to IV.-: 4 :-
Further, in order to address the issues of hoarding, diversion and black-marketing,
fertilizers are declared as an essential commodity under the Essential Commodities
Act, 1955 and notified under Fertilizer Control Order, 1985. State Governments are
empowered to take action against persons involved in said malpractices, as per
provisions of EC Act. Any complaints received at Department of Fertilizers level
regarding these malpractices is sent to concerned State Government to take
appropriate action under Essential Commodities Act, 1955 and Fertilizer Control
Order, 1985.
In Phosphatic & Potassic (P&K) fertilizers, Government has implemented
Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) Scheme w.e.f. 01.04.2010. Under the Scheme, P&K
fertilizers are decontrolled and under Open General License (OGL).
Under NBS scheme, the companies are free to manufacture/import P&K
fertilizers as per their business dynamics. Similarly, companies are free to modify their
production capacity as per the market conditions.
However, to increase domestic fertilizer production and make country self-
reliant the following measures have been taken by the Government:
(i) D/o Fertilizers has issued guidelines dated 18.01.2024 to ensure reasonableness
of MRP and encourage domestic production.
(ii) Based on the requests, the new manufacturing units or increase in manufacturing
capacity of existing units have been recognized / taken on record under the NBS
Scheme.
(iii) The number of P&K fertilizers covered under NBS Scheme has increased from 22
grades in 2021 to 28 grades.
(iv) Freight Subsidy on SSP, which is an indigenously manufactured fertilizer, has
been approved since Kharif, 2022 to promote SSP usage for providing Phosphatic or
'P' nutrient to the soil.
(v) To reduce import dependence on imported Potassic fertilizers, Potash Derived from
Molasses (PDM), which is a domestically produced Potassic fertilizer, has been
inducted under NBS scheme since Rabi, 2021.
Urea is covered under Urea Subsidy Scheme and Phosphatic & Potassic (P&K)
fertilizers is covered under Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) Scheme. Both schemes are
Central Sector Schemes of the Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers, and are wholly
financed by the Government of India through Budgetary Support.
In order to align the public funded schemes with the financial resource cycle of
Central and State Governments, the Urea Subsidy scheme and NBS Scheme have
been made co-terminus with the Finance Commission.Annexure referred to in reply to part (c) to (e ) of Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No 2344 for answering on 13.02.2026 ANNEXURE I
