Government tracks fertiliser diversion through e-way bills as supply fears rise

This move comes as concerns over fertiliser supply rise due to the ongoing Iran war, which has led to fears of shortages. The Finance Ministry is analysing e-way bill data to monitor trucking routes and identify potential issues, such as route deviations and illegal unloading. This increased tracking and enforcement may help prevent fertiliser shortages and ensure a stable supply for farmers.
