The central government has mandated weekly wheat stock reporting for traders, wholesalers, retailers, and processors across all states and Union territories starting April 1. This measure aims to strengthen food security and curb market speculation.
As per the directive, all registered entities must declare their wheat stock on the government’s online portal every Friday until further notice, according to an official statement issued on Tuesday.
The current wheat stock limit is set to expire on March 31.
To regulate prices and ensure steady wheat supply nationwide, the Department of Food and Public Distribution will closely track these reports. Businesses not yet registered on the portal are urged to do so immediately and begin weekly reporting.
