PM-PRANAM Scheme
The Prime Minister's Programme for Restoration, Awareness, Nourishment, and Amelioration of Mother Earth (PM-PRANAM) was launched on 28 June 2023. The scheme creates a financial incentive for states to reduce dependence on chemical fertilisers: states that reduce chemical fertiliser use below their three-year average baseline receive 50% of the resulting subsidy savings as a capital grant.
- Operational period: FY 2023–24 to FY 2025–26
- In 2023–24, chemical fertiliser consumption fell by 15.14 lakh tonnes under this scheme
- Target: reduce the fertiliser subsidy bill by ₹20,000 crore over the scheme period
- Monitoring platform: Integrated Fertilisers Management System (iFMS)
- As of 2026, no funds have yet been disbursed to states despite reported savings, indicating an implementation gap in the disbursement mechanism
