India Unlocks Wheat Flour Exports: A Limited Window
13 Feb
Summary
- India permitted limited wheat flour exports on January 16.
- A cumulative ceiling of 500,000 tonnes is set for exports.
- Exports are authorized under specific conditions and procedures.
India has recently allowed for the limited export of wheat flour and associated products. This decision was implemented on January 16, 2026, through a carefully managed authorization process.
The policy permits the export of wheat or meslin flour, including items like atta, maida, and semolina. A collective export ceiling of 500,000 tonnes has been established. This quota will be accessible via export authorizations issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade.
Strict conditions and outlined procedures must be adhered to for these exports to proceed. The government's controlled approach aims to balance domestic supply needs with opportunities for international trade in wheat-based goods.
