# IMD sees better November rain in key wheat-growing regions - The HinduBusinessLine

> The India Meteorological Department forecasts normal to above-normal November rain in parts of central and north-west India, the main wheat-sowing period. Other areas, including West Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and much of Gujarat, face below-normal rain after deficient October rainfall. Most wheat acreage in the north-west is already irrigated.

## Why it matters

Largely irrigated north-west wheat limits the damage, but dry Rajasthan and Gujarat could trim rabi crops and support Indian wheat prices and import interest.
