Union minister Mansukh Mandaviya: Fertiliser subsidy may fall 30% to Rs 1.8lakh crore this fiscal

IndiaTimes Thursday, 18 January 2024
Fertiliser subsidy in 2023-24 financial year is likely to be around Rs 1.7-1.8 lakh crore, about 30% less than the last year's Rs 2.56 lakh crore, due to fall in global prices and lower imports of urea, Union minister Mansukh Mandaviya said on Wednesday. There is adequate stock of fertiliser for the next Kharif season and imports have not been interrupted due to the Red Sea crisis, he added. Mandaviya told reporters that due to revival of four urea plants in recent years urea imports are estimated at 40-50 lakh tonnes this fiscal.

Houthis Wreck Havoc In Red Sea: 3 Ships Assaulted Within Hours In Fresh Missile Blitz | Oneindia

Yemen's Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for two attacks on ships in the Gulf of Aden and another assault in the Indian Ocean. The group's military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, announced the attacks on the MSC Diego and MSC Gina in the Gulf of Aden, along with the previously unreported attack on the MSC Vittoria in the Indian Ocean. These incidents raise concerns about the potential use of underwater drones (UUVs) by the Houthis, posing a significant threat to shipping, particularly in the Red Sea. The Centre for International Maritime Security has highlighted the secretive nature of Houthi UUV capabilities, warning of the devastating impact on targeted vessels. Amidst these developments, the Houthis have issued warnings to Israel over the conflict in the Gaza Strip, asserting that their attacks on shipping aim to pressure Israel to end the war. They have vowed to continue these assaults until Israel ceases its military actions in Gaza. #HouthiRebels #UnderseaDrones #RedSeaAttacks #IsraeliShips #GulfOfAden #YemenConflict #MaritimeSecurity #HouthiStrikes #ShippingThreat #MiddleEastTrouble ~PR.152~ED.102~HT.95~
