14. Urea Subsidy Reform: Why Shift to a Nutrient-Based Direct Benefit

  • The editorial calls urea the last unreformed subsidy and urges a nutrient-based, direct-benefit regime in which farmers, not fertiliser firms, get the money.
  • Fertiliser subsidy could reach ₹3.4 trillion in FY27, above the earlier peak of ₹2.5 trillion in FY23.
  • Government bears about 90 per cent of urea's actual market cost, while P and K fertilisers come under Nutrient-Based Subsidy.
  • Excess urea distorts the N:P:K balance; the ideal ratio for Indian soils is roughly 4:2:1.
