India's wheat production is projected to hit a record high of 115.3 million metric tonnes in the 2024-25 season, marking a 2% increase from the previous year's output. This significant rise is attributed to favorable weather conditions and expanded crop area. The government has set a procurement target of 31 million tonnes for the upcoming rabi marketing season. Wheat stocks in the central pool remain robust, supporting price stability. The record production is crucial amid rising wheat inflation.
