May 20, 2021
Decision comes in the wake of higher sugar prices in the global market The government on Thursday reduced incentives available on sugar exports by one-third to ₹4,000 per tonne in the current sugar season, but the move will have only a limited impact as sugar mills have either exported or contracts are signed for more than 95 per cent of 60 lakh tonnes quota decided by the government.
The government took the decision to reduce the export subsidy because of high sugar prices in the global market.
According to a notification signed by Sugar Secretary Subodh Kumar Singh, now on the mills will get only ₹4,000 – ₹2,400 for internal transport and freight charges and ₹1,600 for ocean freight – per tonne as “assistance on export of sugar” as against the earlier ₹6,000 per tonne. The notification will be applicable for export contracts signed on Thursday or alter, it said.

Helping Farmers: Govt hikes DAP subsidy by 140% ; IFFCO hails decision
Farmers to get subsidy of Rs 1200 per bag of DAP instead of Rs 500
A historic decision was taken to increase the subsidy for DAP fertiliser at a high-level meeting chaired by PM Narendra Modi on the issue of DAP fertiliser on Wednesday.
With the PM stressing that farmers should get fertilisers at old rates despite the international rise in prices, the subsidy for DAP fertiliser was raised from Rs. 500 per bag to Rs. 1200 per bag, which is an increase of 140%.
Thus, despite the rise in international market prices of DAP, it has been decided to continue selling it at the old price of Rs.1200 and the central government has decided to bear all the burden of price hike. The amount of subsidy per bag has never been increased so much in one fell swoop.
