Jaipur, Oct. 13 -- Rajasthan has 105,000 metric tonnes of di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) and 363,000 metric tonnes of urea in stock for the ongoing rabi season, agriculture minister Kirori Lal Meena said on Monday, adding that 14 more DAP rakes carrying around 35,000 metric tonnes were expected to reach the state by October 14. According to the minister, the state currently has 105,584 metric tonnes of DAP and 363,969 metric tonnes of urea. Based on prevailing weekly consumption, the stocks are estimated to last around 18 days for DAP and 35 days for urea. Meena said the Centre was continuing to supply fertilisers to Rajasthan and that arrangements were being made to ensure availability in line with farmers' requirements throughout the rabi season. He urged farmers not to worry about supplies, adding that the state government was committed to ensuring timely distribution. Citing fertiliser supply figures for the 2026 kharif season, Meena said Rajasthan had received more DAP and urea than its estimated requirements. Against a demand of 510,000 metric tonnes of DAP, the state received 544,995 metric tonnes. Urea supplies stood at 1,715,814 metric tonnes against an estimated demand of 1.1 million metric tonnes. The figures indicate that DAP supplies exceeded the estimated kharif requirement by 34,995 metric tonnes, while urea supplies were 615,814 metric tonnes above the stated demand. The government maintains that these arrangements helped ensure the availability of the two major fertilisers during the kharif season. It is now focusing on maintaining supplies as farmers prepare their fields for rabi sowing. However, the current stock position underscores the need for regular replenishment, particularly of DAP, whose reported availability is equivalent to around 18 days of consumption at current usage levels. Meanwhile, the agriculture department has intensified action against alleged fertiliser-related irregularities, including hoarding, black marketing, illegal diversion of urea and the forced bundling of other products with fertiliser sales. Meena said the government would not tolerate irregularities in fertiliser distribution and that special inspection drives were being conducted against dealers found violating the rules. According to departmental figures cited by the minister, officials inspected 11,770 fertiliser dealers during the 2026-27 financial year up to the time of the statement and collected 9,585 samples for examination. Show-cause notices were issued to 1,238 firms after irregularities were detected. Sales were prohibited at 64 fertiliser outlets, while the authorisations of 128 firms were suspended or cancelled. The department also facilitated the registration of 25 FIRs against individuals allegedly involved in violations, and 11 arrests were made. The action is aimed at curbing practices that can restrict legitimate supplies to farmers, inflate costs or divert subsidised fertilisers away from agricultural use....
