Its demands for grants
3 budget lines sit under this ministry. The total above is their sum, because a group carries no figure of its own anywhere in this dataset.
- Department of Fertilisers Urea and nutrient-based fertiliser subsidy, paid to manufacturers and importers so fertiliser sells below cost. ₹1.87 lakh cr
- Department of Pharmaceuticals Jan Aushadhi generic medicine stores, the NIPER pharmacy institutes, and pharmaceutical production incentives. ₹4,000 cr
- Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals The chemicals and petrochemicals industry: HIL India, the petrochemicals technology institutes, and plastics parks. ₹186 cr
The ministry structure here is the one the 2026-27 Budget publishes, applied to every year so a demand keeps one place across time. A machinery-of-government change that moved a demand between ministries in an earlier year is therefore not reflected.
