In a move aimed at safeguarding overall food security and preventing unscrupulous speculation, the Government of India has announced a mandatory weekly declaration of wheat stock for various entities across all States and Union Territories. It is important to note that the existing wheat stock limits for all categories of entities across all States and Union Territories will expire on March 31, 2025. Following this, the mandatory weekly declaration of wheat stock on the portal will come into effect.
The Department of Food and Public Distribution will closely monitor the wheat stock position across the country. This measure is being implemented to prevent any speculative activities, control wheat prices, and ensure the easy availability of this essential commodity for consumers. This initiative is expected to benefit both consumers by ensuring the availability of wheat at reasonable prices and the overall stability of the food market.
