FCI to offer 25 LMT of wheat in the open market sale till March 25

The government plans to offload 25 LMT of wheat to bulk buyers like flour millers from FCI's buffer stock by March 31, 2025. This is aimed at preventing price rises. Last year, FCI offloaded 10 MT of wheat. Currently, wheat prices are around Rs 32 per kg. The FCI had a stock of over 10 million tonnes in November.
