The notification amends the export policy of wheat under ITC Code 10011900 (Durum Wheat – Other) and 10019910 (Wheat). While the overall export policy for wheat continues to remain “Prohibited”, the government has now permitted export of 25 Lakh Metric Tonnes (LMT) of wheat. Additionally, the earlier provision allowing exports to other countries based on Government of India approval to meet food security needs, upon request from their governments, remains applicable and will operate over and above the permitted 25 LMT quota.
