AI SummaryCentral government launched One Nation One Fertilizer Scheme 2026 on 24 August 2022 under the Pradhan Mantri Bharatiya Jan Urvarak Pariyojana (PMBJP). Under this scheme, all subsidised fertilisers are sold under the single Bharat brand, so farmers get cheaper and good quality fertiliser like Bharat Urea, Bharat DAP, Bharat MOP and Bharat NPK. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the name of the ONOF scheme will be Pradhan Mantri Bharatiya Jan Urvarak Pariyojana.
The scheme is still in force and the government keeps strengthening fertiliser supply across the country. In the Kharif 2026 season, the availability of urea, DAP, MOP and NPKS stayed above the assessed demand in most states. This article explains the details of One Nation One Fertilizer Scheme.
One Nation One Fertilizer Scheme 2026
Under One Nation One Fertilizer Scheme, it is required for all public, cooperative and private companies to market subsidised fertilisers under the same Bharat brand. PM Narendra Modi also inaugurated 600 PM Kisan Samruddhi Kendras (PM-KSK) at a two-day event held at Mela ground in Pusa complex in the national capital.
Bharat Urea for Farmers in India
In the biggest move in the fertiliser sector, all subsidised soil nutrients, urea, Di-ammonium Phosphate (DAP), Muriate of Potash (MoP) and NPK, are marketed under the single Bharat brand across the entire Indian nation. Central government is making it required for companies to market subsidised fertilisers under the Bharat brand. This is being done as part of the One Nation, One Fertiliser (ONOF) scheme of the Fertiliser and Chemicals Ministry. Bharat Urea is given to all farmers to stop criss-cross movement of fertilisers and reduce high freight subsidy.
PM Kisan Samriddhi Kendra (PM-KSK)
Currently, fertiliser retail shops in the country are company-managed, cooperative shops or retailed to private dealers. These retail shops are now converted into PM Kisan Samruddhi Kendras. Union government plans to convert at least one retail shop at each district level to a model shop. The plan is to convert 3,30,449 retail fertiliser shops into PM-KSK.
Role of PM Kisan Samruddhi Kendras
PM Kisan Samriddhi Kendra will make sure the following things for the benefit of farmers:
- Supply of agri-inputs like seeds, fertilisers and farm implements, so farmers get all inputs at one place.
- Provide testing facilities for soil, seeds and fertilisers to check quality before use.
- Provide information about government schemes to help farmers make the right choices.
While launching One Nation One Fertilizer Scheme, PM Modi said "Now, urea of uniform quality will be sold in the country under one name and one brand. This brand is Bharat. Today, in the form of One Nation One Fertilizer, a scheme has been started to provide cheaper and good quality fertilizers to the farmers under the Bharat brand. With One Nation One Fertilizer, farmers are going to get rid of all kinds of confusion and will get better fertilizer."
Kharif 2026 Supply Update
The Department of Fertilizers under the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers shared a Kharif 2026 update in August 2026. Between 1 April and 29 July 2026, fertiliser availability stayed higher than the assessed requirement and actual sales at the national level. For urea, the requirement was 122.84 lakh metric tonnes (LMT) against an availability of 177.27 LMT. For DAP, the requirement was 35.44 LMT against an availability of 43.03 LMT.
The movement of subsidised fertilisers is tracked through the Integrated Fertilizer Management System (iFMS), an online platform that monitors fertiliser supply across the country in real time. The Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare checks the state-wise fertiliser requirement before every cropping season, and the Department of Fertilizers prepares the monthly supply plans. This helps make sure subsidised fertilisers reach farmers on time during the peak sowing season.
