The Centre on Thursday reduced the Wheat Stock limit from 3,000 metric tonnes to 2,000 metric tonnes for traders, wholesalers, and big chain retailers. The move is aimed at curbing rising retail and wholesale prices of wheat and atta (wheat flour).
“To soften the prices of wheat which are showing an increasing trend, Central Government has decided to revise the Wheat Stock limit from 3000 MT to 2000 MT with respect to Traders/Wholesalers and Big Chain Retailers as under: Traders/Wholesaler- 2000 MT; Big Chain Retailer- 10 MT for each outlet and 2000 MT at all their depots,” the Food Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
