November 23, 2023

Worried about containing food inflation with the general elections on the horizon, the Centre is planning to create a special cell under the Department of Food and Public Distribution to strengthen price monitoring of essential commodities such as food grains, pulses, wheat, rice, maize and other food items through a thorough analysis.

New cell to track food prices soon

Since 2017, an interministerial committee (IMC) has been reviewing essential commodities’ prices and policies every week, after collecting data from the website of the department of consumer affairs. The IMC comprises a committee of ministers and a committee of secretaries (CoS) from the ministries of agriculture, food & public distribution and commerce, among others, and is currently headed by home minister Amit Shah.

Queries sent to the Department of Food and Public Distribution remained unanswered.
