Government to review fixed costs for urea plants
In short
The government is setting up a sub-committee to review fixed-cost payments for urea producers. The move comes after rising production costs, and the current formula has been unchanged since FY2002-03.
This matters because any change could affect subsidy payments to urea plants. The report does not say what the new formula will be or when a decision will come.
