Practice Questions

Q1. Consider the following statements about India’s fertiliser consumption and supply in 2023-24: 1. India’s total annual fertiliser consumption was around 601 LMT. 2. About 503 LMT of fertiliser came through imports. 3. About 177 LMT came through imports. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1 and 2 only
B 1 and 3 only Correct
C 2 and 3 only
D 1, 2 and 3

Explanation

Statements 1 and 3 are correct. Statement 2 is incorrect because 503 LMT was produced domestically, while 177 LMT came through imports.

Q2. Consider the following statements about fertiliser self-reliance gaps in India: 1. Around 87% of urea consumption is domestically met. 2. Muriate of Potash (MOP) is fully produced within India. 3. Only about 40% of DAP comes from local production. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1 and 2 only
B 1 and 3 only Correct
C 2 and 3 only
D 1, 2 and 3

Explanation

Statements 1 and 3 are correct. Statement 2 is incorrect because the cited source states that MOP is 100% imported, not fully produced within India.

Q3. Consider the following statements about the Nutrient Based Subsidy for P&K fertilisers: 1. The NBS Scheme for P&K fertilisers has been implemented since 2010. 2. Subsidy is announced for Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potash and Sulphur on a per kg basis. 3. Under NBS, the subsidy is announced only after the end of every cropping season. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1 only
B 1 and 3 only
C 2 and 3 only
D 1 and 2 only Correct

Explanation

Statement 1 is true: the P&K NBS Scheme has been implemented since 2010. Statement 2 is true: subsidy is announced for N, P, K and S on a per kg basis. Statement 3 is false because subsidy is announced annually or bi-annually before the financial year or cropping season, not only after it ends.

Q4. 1. Soil Health Card recommendations include crop-wise dosage of nutrients to be applied. 2. The Government encourages balanced use of fertiliser in conjunction with bio-fertilisers and organic fertilisers based on soil-test recommendations. 3. The Government recommends replacing all organic nutrient sources with chemical fertilisers to maximise short-term output. 4. The 4Rs approach cited by PIB means right quantity, right time, right mode and right type of fertilisers. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1, 2 and 4 only Correct
B 1 and 3 only
C 2 and 4 only
D All four statements

Explanation

Statements 1, 2 and 4 are true. PIB links the Soil Health Card to crop-wise nutrient dosage, encourages balanced use with bio and organic fertilisers, and defines the 4Rs. Statement 3 is false because the cited policy direction is conjunctive use of inorganic and organic sources, not replacement of organics.

Q5. In the 4 May 2026 West Asia briefing, what was India’s fertiliser stock position against the Kharif 2026 requirement of 390.54 lakh metric tonnes?

A 84 lakh metric tonnes
B 120.50 lakh metric tonnes
C 195.71 lakh metric tonnes Correct
D 390.54 lakh metric tonnes

Explanation

The briefing stated that stock stood at around 195.71 lakh metric tonnes against the Kharif 2026 requirement of 390.54 lakh metric tonnes. The 84 lakh metric tonnes figure refers to fertilisers added after the crisis, not the total stock.
