India, the world's second-biggest wheat producer, is counting on a bumper harvest in 2025 to avoid costly imports, after three consecutive years of poor crop yields since 2022.
Higher temperatures could reduce yields for the fourth straight year, trimming overall production and forcing authorities to lower or remove the 40% import tax to facilitate overseas shipments to tide over shortages.
«March is going to be unusually hot this year. Both the maximum and minimum temperatures will remain above normal for most of the month,» said a senior official at the India Meteorological Department (IMD), who did not wish to be identified ahead of the official announcement from the weather office.
The IMD is expected to release its forecast for March temperatures on Friday.
