Import levy on grains reduced

25 Jul 2014 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

The special commodity levy on imported grains has been reduced from July 26 because of the insufficient supply of local grain to the market, the Finance and Planning Ministry said.

It said the prevailing drought was the reason for the low grain supply.

A kilo of Mysore dhal has been reduced by Rs.3; cowpea by Rs.30; watana dhal by Rs.7; green gram by Rs.32, chickpeas by Rs.5 and Kurakkan by Rs.30. (LSP)
