India's DGFT allowed exports of 5 lakh tonnes (500,000 t) of wheat flour and related products under HS 1101, partially lifting a ban imposed in 2022. Exports of atta, maida, sooji and other products remain prohibited beyond this quota, which requires an export authorisation.
The quota adds a modest amount of export demand for Indian wheat products, which is small relative to global wheat trade. It is a signal that India's domestic supply is comfortable ahead of the April harvest, so the price effect is limited.
