Plea to increase the quota of domestically produced urea.
NEW DELHI, JULY 08, 2025: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has requested Union Minister for Fertilisers and Chemicals JP Nadda to supply urea allocated to Telangana state on time to meet the agricultural needs during the farming season.
The Chief Minister met JP Nadda at the latter’s official residence in Delhi today. During the meeting, the CM brought to the notice of the Union Minister that only 3.07 lakh metric tonnes of Urea was supplied between April and June as against the requirement of 5 lakh metric tonnes in the Kharif season. In view of the farming activity in full swing and the projects receiving abundant inflows in the state, CM Revanth Reddy appealed to the Union Minister to ensure no disruption in the supply of urea.
The CM brought to the notice of the Union Minister that 63,000 metric tonnes of domestically produced urea and 97,000 metric tonnes of imported urea were to be supplied to the state for July. But the centre supplied only 29,000 metric tonnes of urea so far.
The CM also requested Nadda to enhance the quota of domestically produced urea for Telangana and increase the number of rakes for urea supply in the wake of the reluctance of the Railways to consider the demand for more rakes.
State government’s Sports Advisor AP Jitender Reddy, MPs Dr. Mallu Ravi and Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy, Special Secretary to the Chief Minister Ajith Reddy, State Agriculture Secretary Raghunandan Rao, Central Schemes Coordination Secretary Dr. Gaurav Uppal and others are also present.
