The Indian central pool currently holds 57.8 million metric tonnes of wheat, with 21 million tonnes allocated for the Public Distribution System and 7.5 million tonnes for buffer stock. The government’s decision to permit additional exports aims to enhance market liquidity and prevent distress sales. Factors such as increased freight charges due to geopolitical tensions and adverse weather conditions affecting wheat production in major exporting countries have contributed to rising global wheat prices, creating an export opportunity for Indian wheat, particularly to Bangladesh.
