Union Minister for Coal and Mines G.

Reddy thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for extending support to farmers. The decision would benefit crores of farmers across the country, including those in Telangana.Despite a sharp increase in global fertilizer and natural gas prices caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the ongoing West Asia crisis, the Centre has not increased the price of urea.

Reddy said that while the estimated expenditure on urea subsidies during 2022-23 to 2024-25 was ₹3,68,676 crore, the actual spending rose to ₹4,23,217 crore. Despite the expenditure exceeding the initial estimate by ₹54,540 crore, the Centre continued the scheme without any compromise.The domestic urea production increased from about 225 lakh metric tonnes in 2014-15 to 306.
67 lakh metric tonnes in 2024-25. The increase was attributed to the commissioning of new plants and the revival of closed units, helping move the country towards greater self-sufficiency in the fertilizer sector.
