The tentative budgetary requirement for Kharif season 2026 would be approximately Rs.41,533.81 crore. This is approximate Rs. 4,317 crore more than the budgetary requirement for Kharif 2025 season. The budget for Kharif 2025 was Rs.37,216.15 crore.

The subsidy on P&K fertilizers including DAP and NPKS grades will be provided based on approved rates for Kharif 2026 (applicable from 01.04.2026 to 30.09.2026) to ensure smooth availability of these fertilizers to the farmers at affordable prices.

Background:

Government is making available 28 grades of P&K fertilizers including DAP to farmers at subsidized prices through fertilizer manufacturers/importers. The subsidy on P&K fertilizers is governed by NBS Scheme w.e.f. 01.04.2010. In accordance with its farmer friendly approach, the Government is committed to ensure the availability of P&K fertilizers to the farmers at affordable prices.

In view of the recent trends in the international prices of fertilizers & inputs like Urea, DAP, MOP and Sulphur, Government has decided to approve the NBS rates for Kharif 2026 effective from 01.04.2026 to 30.09.2026 on Phosphatic and Potassic (P&K) fertilisers including DAP and NPKS grades. The subsidy would be provided to the fertilizer companies as per approved and notified rates so that fertilizers are made available to farmers at affordable prices.

Prime Minister shares Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the strength of courage and resilience
July 08, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi said that courage is the greatest strength of a nation. He noted that it inspires the country to remain united even in the face of difficult challenges and to move steadily towards progress, prosperity and self-reliance.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-

“चलन्ति गिरयः कामं युगान्तपवनाहताः।

कृच्छ्रेऽपि न चलत्येव धीराणां निश्चलं मनः।। ”

The Subhashitam conveys that even mountains, lashed by tempestuous winds, are shaken and set in motion at the time of dissolution; yet amid the gravest trials, the mind of the steadfast remains unwavering and undisturbed.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“धैर्य किसी राष्ट्र की सबसे बड़ी शक्ति है। इससे कठिन चुनौतियों के बीच भी देश को एकजुट रहने के साथ ही प्रगति, समृद्धि और आत्मनिर्भरता की दिशा में निरंतर आगे बढ़ने की प्रेरणा मिलती है।

चलन्ति गिरयः कामं युगान्तपवनाहताः।

कृच्छ्रेऽपि न चलत्येव धीराणां निश्चलं मनः।।”
