Bharat Dal Scheme Halted as Market Prices Decline
★ With pulse prices cooling after remaining high for nearly two years, the government has suspended the "Bharat Dal" initiative. Supply of subsidised pulses under the Bharat brand was discontinued after March 31.
★ A government official confirmed that no new milling is taking place under the scheme and whatever stocks remain in the market are residual supplies.
★ However other Bharat-branded essential commodities such as wheat flour (atta) and rice will continue to be available under ongoing schemes.
