# Indian wheat prices gain ₹150/quintal as government lifts ban on product shipments - The HinduBusinessLine

> Indian wheat prices rose by more than ₹150 a quintal after the government lifted its four-year ban on wheat and wheat product exports on August 24. Global wheat prices are near three-year highs on Black Sea disruption and lower output, and some traders worry about El Niño affecting the next crop.
