The government has hiked the subsidies for DAP and some other non-urea fertilisers by Rs 14,775 crore to keep the price of the crop nutrients for farmers low despite the rising costs. After urea, di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) is the most widely used fertiliser in the country.
Last month, at a high-level meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it was decided that the subsidy on DAP fertiliser be increased by 140 per cent.
