Flour Price In India: Food should not be expensive. The central government is constantly taking steps regarding this. Wheat prices in the country have increased for a long time. Due to this, the kitchen budget of the common man is deteriorating. At the same time, there is pressure on the central government to bring wheat prices under control as soon as possible, so that the common man does not suffer financially. Continuous steps are being taken by the Central Government to control the price of wheat. But they are proving to be insufficient so far. Now the central government is going to take another big step.
30 lakh tonnes of wheat will be launched in the open market
Wheat prices are affecting flour. First the price of wheat increased, later the price of flour also increased. But to give relief to the price of wheat and flour, the central government will take a big step. To stop the inflation on flour, the central government will release 30 lakh tonnes of wheat in the open market. For this, the committee constituted by the government has also given consent. Experts say that wheat is less in the market. Due to high consumption, the price of wheat and flour has increased.
FCI will release wheat stock through e-auction
According to media reports, FCI has the responsibility of unloading wheat in the market. Through e-auction i.e. e-auction, wheat will be launched in the market under the open market sale scheme. Wheat stock will be sold through tender to flour millers and big wholesale buyers of the country. It is the effort of the Central Government that if the consumption of wheat increases in the market, then the demand will not be that much. Due to this, there can be a fall in the prices of wheat and flour.
Wheat will be given at Rs 2350 per quintal
In order to reduce the price of wheat in the country, apart from the state, wheat will also be given to co-operative and government companies. Wheat will also be given to Kendriya Bhandar, NCCF and NAFED from the Central Government level. The central government will sell them wheat at the rate of Rs 2350 per quintal without tender.
Wheat prices will come from Rs 34 to Rs 29 per kg
In any case, the central government does not want to deliver expensive flour to the kitchens of the common people. Regarding this, a new condition has been imposed in the OMS scheme. As per the condition, the company or the miller will buy wheat from the government level. They will grind flour from wheat and will not keep the retail price more than Rs.29.50 under any circumstances. It is clear that the common man will get flour at Rs 29.50 per kg. At present, the price of flour has crossed Rs.34. In such a situation, the price of flour will reach below Rs.30 due to the steps of the central government.
Now wheat and flour are being sold expensive
According to statistics, in the year 2022, an increase of 18 percent in the price of flour and 14 percent in the price of wheat has been recorded. The price of wheat ranges from Rs 29 to 41 in different parts of the country and the price of flour ranges from Rs 34 to 45 per kg. Wheat is also being sold from Rs.3200 to Rs.3300 per quintal. Wheat itself is being sold in the open at Rs.32 to 33 per quintal. In such a situation, the price of flour would have increased, so there is nothing surprising in it.
