MSP Hikes' Impact on Inflation to Be Muted, Report Says

MSP Hikes' Impact on Inflation to Be Muted, Report Says

The government increased the minimum support prices (MSP) for several crops, like wheat and barley.

However, a new report suggests this won't make things much more expensive for shoppers.

The government is aiming to ensure farmers get good prices.

The price increases range from 4% to 10%.

The increase for wheat is 6.6%.

Good grain storage and water reserves are helping keep food prices steady, even with higher farmer prices.
