India's agricultural sector could save USD 2 billion annually in fertilizer imports through a strategic shift toward organic blending. The Indian Biogas Association proposes mandatory 10 percent fermented organic manure blending with chemical fertilizers by 2030, addressing critically low soil organic carbon levels at 0.4 percent. The phased implementation strategy begins with 1 percent blending in 2026-27, scaling to 10 percent by 2029-30. This framework integrates with existing government schemes including the Nutrient-Based Subsidy framework and Soil Health Card scheme. The initiative creates significant market opportunities while reducing import dependency and promoting sustainable agriculture practices across India's farming sector.
