Apr 06, 2026
"We have adequate buffer stock of both wheat and rice, three times the buffer stock norms, which is there. For wheat, we have around 222 LMT. For rice, we are having around 380 LMT. So put together, around 602 LMT of food stocks are available with us. This is quite enough to take care of the PDS requirement, as well as any emergency requirement, if any," Shikha said while addressing a press briefing.
