To uphold food security and curb hoarding and speculative practices, the Government of India has mandated that Traders/Wholesalers, Retailers, Big Chain Retailers, and Processors across all States and Union Territories must declaration their wheat stock positions on the portal (https://evegoils.nic.in/wheat/login.html) starting from April 1, 2024, and subsequently every Friday until further notice. It is imperative for all relevant legal entities to consistently and accurately disclose their stock on the designated portal.
Additionally, the Wheat Stock Limit, applicable to all entity categories in States and UTs, expires on March 31, 2024. Subsequently, entities are required to disclose their stock on the portal. Rice stock declaration is already mandatory for all entity categories. Entities not yet registered on the portal are urged to register promptly and commence weekly disclosures of both wheat and rice stock.
The Department of Food and Public Distribution maintains vigilant oversight of wheat and rice stock levels to stabilise prices and ensure sufficient availability nationwide.
