Analysis reveals how irrigation subsidies affect water use efficiency and farmer welfare in India, highlighting disparities among landholders.

Irrigation subsidies lead to lower input costs and improved agricultural productivity, yet they foster inefficient water use.

Adaptive, conditional approaches to subsidies can enhance water use efficiency and address issues of inequity among farmers.
Policy recommendations emphasize the importance of region-specific incentives linked to measurable outcomes like groundwater recharge.
