THE CENTRE'S FOOD subsidy expenses for FY25 may exceed ₹2.25 lakh crore, which is ₹13,000 crore more than the revised estimate (RE) for 2023-24 and ₹20,000 crore higher than the budget estimate (BE) for the current year, according to official sources. The increased subsidy requirement is due to rising costs associated with maintaining a large stockpile of rice, along with an increase in the minimum support price (MSP) for wheat and rice.
