Allocation towards the Ministries of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, and Chemicals and Fertilisers have decreased mainly due to a reduction in food subsidy and fertiliser subsidy. We will discuss the expenditure on subsidies below.

The substantial increase in fertiliser subsidy for 2022-23 was in response to a sharp rise in international prices of raw materials used in fertiliser manufacturing.
- Other subsidies: Expenditure on other subsidies includes interest subsidies for various government schemes, subsidies for the price support scheme for agricultural produce, and assistance to shipbuilding research and development, among others. In 2023-24, expenditure on these other subsidies is estimated to decrease by 30% compared to the revised estimate of 2022-23.
