Now, a 45 kg bag of urea that was retailed at Rs 299 will be available for Rs 266.50, while the 50 kg urea bag will be sold for nearly Rs 299 as against Rs 330.50 earlier. The government has decided to reduce the prices which were hiked after rise in natural gas rates due to increase in VAT prices, the spokesman said. The step has been taken in view of the central and state government's target of doubling farmers' income by 2022.
Yogi also tweeted saying, "The government has decided to reduce the prices of urea for the benefit of the farmers. The rise in prices was because of excess VAT on natural gas. The prices will go down from 12th January, 2019."
