The document discusses India's fertilizer pricing policy. It notes that six major fertilizers are produced in India including urea, DAP, and others. Urea production and pricing is strictly controlled by the government, which subsidizes production costs and transportation to ensure uniform prices nationwide. The government also subsidizes imports when needed. While other fertilizers were decontrolled in 1992, the government introduced subsidy schemes to keep prices reasonable and encourage consumption.
