Crisil to Review India's Fertilizer Subsidy Scheme for Fiscal Sustainability

The Indian government is asking a company called Crisil to look closely at how it helps pay for fertilizers for farmers.

This fertilizer subsidy is a big part of the government's spending.

They want to see if the way they are doing it is good for the country's money in the long run and if it helps farmers in the best way.

The goal is to make sure the money is used wisely and to find ways to make the system better.

They are also checking if the current system encourages farmers to use different kinds of fertilizers in a balanced way.

The review aims to suggest improvements without necessarily increasing government spending, unless it's absolutely necessary.
