However, the government clarified that 3 million tonnes of edible oil had already been imported duty-free, ensuring price stability. Additionally, companies have been asked not to raise oil prices. In terms of wheat, the government assured that current stocks of 10 million tonnes held by traders should keep prices steady, with no plans to release additional wheat into the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Government Measures to Curb Price Hikes<\/strong><br>To further protect consumers, the Ministry of Food and Consumer Affairs will monitor the supply and pricing of these essential goods, actively working to prevent price surges during the festive season.
