Pilot plan to be launched soon, says Nadda

- SANDIP DAS

THE GOVERNMENT IS set to launch a pilot to link the demand for subsidised fertilisers from farmers to their land holdings, Minister for Chemicals and Fertilisers JP Nadda said in Parliament on Tuesday.

This marks an initiative to curb the rising subsidy bill, which has turned out to be one of the big fiscal concerns of the government in recent years.

The idea is to rationalise the beneficiary pool and prevent diversion of the highly subsidised soil nutrients to the grey market.
