The Food Corporation of India raised the maximum wheat quantity that high-tension electricity connection buyers, such as flour millers, can bid for in its auctions, from 300 to 500 tonnes. The change comes ahead of a sixth round offering 218,500 tonnes, as recent auction prices have run above reserve levels amid inflation in wheat prices.
Allowing larger bids lets big millers buy more state wheat, which adds supply to the domestic market and is intended to cool prices. This is bearish for Indian wheat prices, though the effect depends on how much of the offered volume is taken up.
