The government has announced a further 5% increase in the overall gas allocation to fertiliser plants, aimed at supporting domestic production and ensuring adequate supply for the agricultural sector. The move comes as part of efforts to stabilise input costs and strengthen food security.
Officials stated that the enhanced allocation will help fertiliser units meet rising demand during the sowing season, while also reducing dependence on imports. The decision underscores the government’s focus on boosting self-reliance in critical sectors.
Industry experts welcomed the step, noting that consistent gas supply is vital for maintaining production efficiency and keeping fertiliser prices affordable for farmers.
