The Central Government has lifted the export ban on wheat flour and related products. This policy amendment allows for immediate overseas shipments of these items. Previously, India had halted wheat exports in July 2022 due to rising local prices. Global price skyrocketed when the Russia-Ukraine conflict had impacted wheat trade significantly. The government had previously set a 5 million tonne export limit earlier this year.
