While the budgetary sanction increased from the budgetary allocation of Rs. 700 billion in the recent years, it remains inadequate to meet the total requirement of the fertiliser subsduy which stands at around ~Rs. 1250 billion. The subsidy requirement of Rs. 1250 billion includes a subsidy backlog which is expected to increase to Rs. 450 billion by the end of FY2020. Of the total budgetary allocation, GoI had released nearly 84% by the end of October 2019. With the subsidy budget expected to be over by the end of December 2019, the subsidy receivables will rise till the end of FY2020 end. As a result, the working capital  borrowings of the industry will rise leading to moderation in the credit metrics, as per an ICRA note. (ET).
