# With inflation at record low of 0.3%, food ministry proposes lifting of export ban on wheat products | India News - The Times of India

> India's food ministry has proposed lifting the export ban on wheat products, suggesting up to 1 million tonnes be allowed. The proposal comes as CPI inflation hit a record low of 0.3% and wholesale wheat prices fell about 12% year on year, with the FCI holding about 30.5 MT of wheat.

## Why it matters

Surplus Indian wheat and a possible reopening of product exports would add some export demand, which is supportive for wheat. Weak domestic prices, however, limit how much Indian export demand can lift global prices.
