People’s Commission Calls for National Fertiliser Policy to Reduce Imports, Strengthen CPSEs

There is need to build up self-reliance by nurturing the fertiliser CPSEs, rather than dismantling them through disinvestment and privatisation, read the PCPSPS statement.

New Delhi: Amid concerns over global availability and growing demand for fertilisers, as well India’s dependence on urea import, the People's Commission on Public Sector and Public Services (PCPSPS) has called for a national fertiliser policy, consistent with the long-term food security strategy in India.

“The national fertiliser policy should recognize the strategic nature of the domestic fertilizer industry and the urgent need to build up self-reliance by nurturing the fertilizer CPSEs, rather than dismantling them through disinvestment and privatisation,” said a statement issued by PCPSPS, which includes eminent citizens, such as former Kerala finance minister Thomas Isaac, former bureaucrat EAS Sarma, Senior advocate Indira Jaising, economist Prabhat Patnaik among others.

The statement comes in the backdrop of reports of long queues by farmers to buy urea and DAP for their Rabi crops in some states, such as Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar etc., even leading to protests and angry incidents.
