# Wheat prices gain in India on higher export and festival demand, but still rule below MSP

> Wheat prices in Indian markets have risen over the past two weeks on exports to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan and festival-season demand. Prices remain below the Rs 1,925 MSP and below year-earlier levels. Traders suspect some wheat meant for public distribution may have been diverted to exports.
