3 Lakh MT Urea to Arrive in December

The Agriculture Minister confirmed that the state is in constant coordination with the central government to ensure smooth supply.

Out of the 11.34 lakh MT urea allocated for Rabi 2025 (October–December), the state has already received 10.50 lakh MT, which is 92.59% of the allocation. Additionally, 25,000 MT is in transit.

Around 3 lakh MT urea is expected to arrive in December, ensuring full availability.

Current State Fertilizer Stock:

• Urea: 1,67,000 MT

• DAP: 66,000 MT

• NPK: 61,000 MT

• SSP: 1,43,000 MT

The phosphatic fertilizer stock is 79,000 MT higher than last year, which is considered sufficient for current demand.

Distribution Based on District Demand

Fertilizers are allocated to Rajasthan by the central government every month. The state government then prepares district-wise distribution plans.

District magistrates have been instructed to:

• Ensure distribution as per Soil Health Card recommendations

• Act quickly against hoarding, black marketing, and illegal storage

• Maintain fair and transparent distribution with no middlemen

Control Rooms and Checkpoints for Seamless Supply

All districts now have control rooms that monitor fertilizer distribution live.

• 61 checkpoints have been set up to stop illegal fertilizer movement from border districts.

• The Agriculture Department and police teams are conducting regular inspections.

These measures help prevent urea diversion, hoarding, and black marketing.
