MSP and Bonus:
MSP for wheat this season is ₹2,425 per quintal.
Rajasthan government has announced a ₹125 per quintal bonus, making the effective procurement price ₹2,550 per quintal.
Madhya Pradesh: A similar bonus announcement is expected.
Impact on Other States: Higher procurement prices in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh are likely to drive wheat demand from states like Uttar Pradesh.
Potential Issues: If market prices exceed MSP, lower volumes might be recorded at government centers.
