The Centre government of India on 21st Jan extended duty free imports of tur or arhar by a year till March 2026 to temper retail food prices that are still ruling above the government’s comfort levels. Despite some recent declines, retail prices of tur remain high, with year-on-year figures showing mixed trends across different states. The measure aims to offset the impact of reduced domestic production and ensure sufficient supply amidst ongoing food inflation concerns. (ICE NEW DELHI)
