The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Tuesday (October 28), has approved the proposal of the Department of Fertilisers for fixing the Nutrient-Based Subsidy (NBS) rates for the rabi season 2025-26, applicable from October 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, on phosphatic and potassic (P&K) fertilisers.

The tentative budgetary requirement for the rabi season 2025-26 is estimated at ₹37,952.29 crore, which is approximately ₹736 crore higher than the budgetary requirement for the Kharif season 2025.

The subsidy on P&K fertilisers, including Di Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) and NPKS (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potash, Sulphur) grades, will be provided based on the approved rates for the period to ensure the smooth availability of these fertilisers to farmers at affordable prices.
