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 Power industry - India Fertilizers - India Agricultural subsidies Subsidies Narayanan, Sudha Economic and Political Weekly 44080 44080 44080 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 35, Issue no: 10 AR44487 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
