<h1>Government Approves Rs 3,850 Crore Subsidy for DAP Fertiliser to Keep Prices Stable for Farmers.</h1> The government has extended an additional subsidy package for di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) fertiliser, costing up to Rs 3,850 crore, to maintain retail prices at Rs 1,350 per 50 kg bag. This extension follows a previous package of Rs 3,500 per tonne from April to December 2024. The Union Cabinet, led by the Prime Minister, approved this move to ensure DAP's affordability for farmers despite global market volatility. The subsidy is part of the nutrient-based subsidy scheme, with the government prioritizing farmers' welfare by providing substantial fertiliser subsidies over the past decade.
