Monsoon Preparations
The Ministry of Agriculture is reportedly reviewing input subsidies and crop insurance parameters ahead of the 2026 Kharif cycle. Weather volatility and input cost inflation are driving these discussions.
Focus Areas
- Minimum Support Price revisions: Discussions are ongoing for select pulses and oilseeds to reflect rising cultivation costs.
- Climate-resilient seeds: Distribution of drought-tolerant seed varieties is being expanded in rain-fed districts.
- Digital procurement: States are piloting direct benefit transfers for fertilizer subsidies via mobile platforms.
Farmer organizations have urged the government to finalize announcements before the sowing window opens in June.
