13 November 2025, New Delhi: In a major nationwide crackdown to protect farmers’ interests and safeguard the national fertiliser supply chain, the Department of Fertilisers (DoF), in close coordination with the Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare (DA&FW), carried out an extensive enforcement campaign during the Kharif and ongoing Rabi season 2025–26 (April–November). Secretaries of both departments held multiple joint meetings with State Governments to drive coordinated action.
Working closely with State authorities, district officials undertook large-scale raids, inspections and legal measures to curb black marketing, hoarding and adulteration of fertilisers. These strong and proactive steps strengthened market discipline, ensured timely availability, and upheld the integrity of fertiliser distribution across the country.
