Telangana Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao said fertilizer distribution during the Kharif 2026 season was carried out smoothly across the state through advance stocking, faster transportation and digital monitoring. The government positioned fertilizer stocks in advance to prevent shortages, coordinated with the Centre to expedite shipments and deployed officials at shipyards to ensure timely movement of imported fertilizers. The Fertilizer App was also used to monitor stocks, bookings and purchases and improve transparency in distribution.

Through the Centre’s Fertilizer Facilitation System, 37.48 lakh QR codes were generated and 141.88 lakh bags were booked, with farmers purchasing 104.99 lakh bags. Telangana currently has 2.33 lakh metric tonnes of urea in stock, along with DAP, complex fertilizers, MOP and SSP.
