During the release of the Wheat Crop Survey Report for Rabi 2025-26, Navneet Chitlangia (President of the Roller Flour Millers' Federation of India) called for increased policy stability and stronger collaboration between the flour milling industry and the government. The report estimates wheat production at 1,106.5 lakh metric tonnes, a modest rise from 1,096.3 lakh metric tonnes the previous year, with an increase in sown area and average yield. However, the industry has faced significant challenges over the past year, including sharp price fluctuations and rising costs due to global geopolitical tensions. Chitlangia outlined several key demands, including regular updates on national wheat stock data, predictable pricing policies, and export flexibility to enhance market conditions. He also highlighted the need for liquidity support to help the industry navigate tight margins and uncertainties. Weather disruptions, particularly unseasonal rain and hail, have adversely affected crops in Punjab and West Bengal, with affected districts including Fazilka and Amritsar. The flour milling sector is striving for stability and consistent dialogue to ensure fair returns for farmers and affordable prices for consumers.
