This paper estimates plant-specific domestic resource cost of all urea plants in the country, and aggregate measure of support for selected commodities through power subsidies. It also gives some policy options both for the centre to tackle fertiliser subsidy and to the states to minimise power subsidy. - Reproduced  aPower industry - India  aFertilizers - India  aAgricultural subsidies  aSubsidies  aNarayanan, Sudha  aEconomic and Political Weekly
