Wheat Market Gains Momentum Across India as Strong Mill Buying Supports Prices

Indias wheat market continued to witness a firm trend, with prices rising across major mandis and trading centers due to aggressive buying by flour mills and steady domestic demand. Market reports indicate that wheat prices improved by ₹15–30 per quintal, supported by limited arrivals and sustained procurement from millers. Traders believe the combination of robust domestic consumption and restrained selling by farmers has created a favorable market environment. Flour mills have remained active buyers to meet the regular demand from the flour, maida, and semolina industries, preventing any significant pressure on prices. The domestic market has also received support from global developments. The latest USDA report has raised concerns over global wheat production and ending stocks, lending strength to international wheat prices. This positive global sentiment has further boosted confidence in the Indian wheat market. Strong demand for quality wheat, coupled with controlled market arrivals, has reinforced the bullish outlook. Market participants noted that millers continue to procure regularly, while farmers are releasing stocks cautiously, keeping supplies relatively tight. Among the major wheat markets, prices were reported at ₹2,750 per quintal in Delhi (Lawrence Road) and Mathura (mill delivery), ₹2,730 in Gorakhpur, ₹2,710 in Hapur, ₹2,775 in Kolkata, ₹2,910–2,940 in Hyderabad, ₹2,800 in Pune (Lokwan), ₹3,070 in Indore (Lokwan), and ₹4,848 per quintal for premium Sharbati wheat in Sehore. Some discussions surrounding the governments Open Market Sale Scheme (OMSS) led to slightly slower buying activity in parts of southern India during the afternoon session. However, the overall impact remained limited, with trading continuing normally across most major markets. Market experts believe that if the government does not announce a major wheat sale under the OMSS and flour mills continue purchasing at the current pace, wheat prices in the Delhi market could rise to ₹2,780–2,820 per quintal in the near term. Overall, the outlook for Indias wheat market remains positive. However, traders and farmers are advised to closely monitor government policy decisions, OMSS developments, market arrivals, and wheat quality, as these factors will play a crucial role in determining price direction in the coming weeks.
