MSP for Kharif season 2026-27 approved
The Cabinet has approved increasing the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for the Kharif season 2026-27. The government has made a total provision of ₹ 2.60 lakh crore for this. The government says that the purpose of increasing MSP is to provide better prices to farmers for their crops and to make farming more profitable.

Green signal given to coal gasification scheme
The cabinet has also approved the coal gasification scheme. The total cost of this project will be ₹37,500 crore. The government’s aim is to increase better and cleaner use of coal.
