Chemicals and Fertilizers Minister D V Sadananda Gowda has said that the availability of fertilizers is comfortable across the country and the States already have enough stocks.
He said, if there is any additional demand due to the ongoing sowing, supply will be expedited, and urea will be made available in time to farmers.
The Minister said, there has been significant spurt in demand for fertilizers across the country due to ongoing Kharif season.
To fulfill this requirement, Mr Gowda said, the government is working in close coordination with producers and State Governments.
The Minister said that in addition, the cycle of import has been shortened to augment the supply in line with the demand.
Agriculture Minister of Telangana, Singireddy Niranjan Reddy met Mr Gowda at his office in New Delhi today regarding the demand of urea in his State.
He said, Telangana is witnessing a spurt in demand and consumption of urea by farmers due to better than expected monsoon and increase in area under cultivation this Kharif season as compared to last year. He requested Mr Gowda to ensure adequate supply of Urea for Telangana.
