After wheat, India now curbs the export of wheat flour and related products

The Centre has made it mandatory for all exporters to seek prior permission from the inter-ministerial committee on wheat export before undertaking any outbound shipment

The government has restricted the export of wheat flour and other related products, such as maida, rava (samolina), wholemeal atta and resultant atta. All exporters will need to seek prior permission from an inter-ministerial committee on export of wheat before undertaking any outbound shipment. The Centre had banned the export of wheat in May. 

According to a Directorate General of Foreign Trade notification issued on July 6, the curbs will come into force from July 12.  

Until July 12, those shipments will be allowed where loading on the ship had started before July 6 or the consignments were handed over
