India forecasts record foodgrain production in 2025, driven by robust monsoon and government support.

India is expected to reach record foodgrain production levels in 2025, with kharif crops projected at 164.7 million tonnes. The agricultural sector is showing strong growth of 3.5-4%, up from 1.4% previously, fueled by favorable monsoon conditions. Despite challenges in pulses and oilseeds production, and concerns about high input costs, the government's PM-KISAN scheme and new agricultural initiatives aim to support farmers and boost production.
