Modest hike ahead of polls: Centre raises wheat MSP by just Rs 25/quintal
The Centre raised the minimum support price (MSP) for wheat by ₹25 per quintal to ₹2,610 for the 2027-28 season. This increase, amounting to 0.97%, contrasts with larger hikes for other crops like safflower, which saw a 10.32% rise. The decision, made by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, comes ahead of elections in key wheat-producing states.
