Central government has decided to reduce the wheat stock limit from 3,000 metric tonnes (MT) to 2,000 MT for traders, wholesalers, and big chain retailers.
The stock limit of wheat will be 10 MT for each big chain retailer outlet.
For other categories, stock limits have not been changed.
All wheat stocking entities are required to register on the wheat stock limit portal and update the stock position every Friday.
Any entity registered on the portal violating the stock limits will be subject to suitable punitive action under Sections 6 & 7 of the Essential Commodities Act,1955.
