|October 29, 2025
The Union cabinet on Tuesday approved the allocation of ₹37,952 crore as subsidy for phosphatic and potassic (P&K) fertilizers for the ongoing Rabi season that runs from October to March.
The Cabinet, headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, increased the Nutrient-Based Subsidy (NBS) rate for phosphate to ₹47.96 per kg for the rabi season from ₹43.60 per kg in the 2025 Kharif season. Similarly, the subsidy for sulphur was raised to ₹2.87 per kg from ₹1.77 per kg. The subsidy rate for nitrogen and potash were, however, kept unchanged at ₹43.02 per kg and ₹2.38 per kg, respectively.
The total outlay is about ₹736 crore higher than the outlay for the 2025 Kharif season. I&B minister Ashwini Vaishnaw told reporters during a briefing on the cabinet's decisions that the subsidy approved is higher by about ₹14,000 crore from the previous Rabi season.
