Secretariat-Economic Services:..Provision is for expenditure on Secretariat of the Department.

[2]

Subsidy on imported fertilizers:..As indigenous production is not adequate to meet the demand for fertilizers, imports are arranged to make up for the shortfall. The cost involved is broadly the price of imported fertilizers plus the cost of handling and distribution of the fertilizers. The selling price of imported fertilizers to farmers is controlled under the Fertilizer Control Order and the consumer prices are thus statutorily regulated. This selling price is the same as the selling price for indigenous production. The difference between the amount realised by way of sale of fertilizers to farmers and the import costs to Government represents the subsidy on fertilizer imports.

[3]

Subsidy on decontrolled fertilizers:..Provision is for payment to the manufactures/importers of fertilizers/agencies under the Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) scheme of sale of decontrolled Phosphatic and Potassic fertilizers at concession to the farmers.

[4]

Fertilizer Industries:..This provision relates to subsidy under Fertilizer New Pricing Scheme (NPS) including Frieght Subsidy for production of urea. The subsidy scheme is intended to make fertilizers available to the farmers at reasonable prices and to give producers of fertilizers a reasonable return on their investment.The difference between the concession price so fixed less distribution margin and the statutorily controlled consumers' price is allowed as subsidy. The quantum of subsidy depends on the concession price, the consumer's price and the level of production.

[5]

Other research schemes for fertilizer development:..The provision is for S&T work and for development of essential know-how for production of fertilizers.
