# Amendment in Export Policy of Wheat — 62/2025-26 | DGFT notification · Complied AI

> The DGFT amended India's wheat export policy under HS codes 10011900 and 10019910 on February 24. Wheat stays prohibited for export, but 2.5 million tonnes is now permitted, with modalities to follow in a separate Public Notice. Government-to-government food security exports continue over and above that quota.

- Commodities: [Wheat (SRW)](https://feedsoft.ai/c/WHEAT.md)

## Why it matters

The quota is a controlled, partial reopening of India's export channel, so it adds limited supply to world wheat markets until the modalities are published. Traders will watch the Public Notice for the timing of actual sales.
