India Tightens Wheat Stock Limits to Curb Hoarding & Ensure Price Stability
To strengthen food security and manage market volatility, the Indian Government has revised stock limits on wheat for various entities. The new regulations, effective until March 2026, impose restrictions on traders, retailers, big chain retailers, and processors nationwide, preventing hoarding and stabilizing prices. These measures, along with PM Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana which provides free food grains to over 81 crore beneficiaries, aim to ensure foodgrain availability for vulnerable sections. Additionally, the government supports technology use in food processing with grants to educational and research institutions. This update was shared by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries in a Lok Sabha session.
