India Lifts Ban on Wheat Exports for Certain Types
India has lifted its ban on wheat exports for certain types of wheat, allowing them to be shipped overseas again. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) made this change official on Monday, August 24, 2026.
The DGFT switched the export rules for durum and other wheat from 'Prohibited' to 'Free', indicating that there are no restrictions on exporting these specific kinds of wheat.
This update follows the latest trade policy guidelines and marks a significant shift in how India handles its wheat trade. With this change, certain Indian wheat products are now open for global business.
