Centre raises ethanol purchase price; okays ₹52,000-cr subsidy for non-urea fertilisers

The rise is up to 2.75 a litre and is for the 2022-23 supply season, which will start in December.

However, the sugar industry is of the view that a higher price of ethanol derived from sugarcane juice and syrup would have rekindled more investor interest.

The cabinet in a separate decision also approved a subsidy of around 51,875 crore for phosphatic and potassic (P&K) fertilisers for the second half of 2022-23 as part of efforts to provide affordable soil nutrients to farmers.

In April, this year, it had approved a subsidy of ₹60,939.23 crore for P&K fertilisers for the first six months (kharif season) of this fiscal year.

This means for non-urea fertilisers alone, the subsidy has touched almost ₹1.13 trillion in FY23.

The urea subsidy is, according to conservative estimates, never less than ₹80,000 crore a year.

The FY23 Budget had provided for 1.05 trillion as total fertiliser subsidy.
