What Happened
India's Centre approved wheat procurement resumption in Delhi, benefiting 21,000 farmers. Procurement starts April 24 at FCI depots in Narela and Najafgarh mandi, ending a five-year gap since 2021-22. Farmers must carry Aadhaar, land records, and bank passbook. This addresses concerns about farmers selling below minimum support price.
