New Delhi: The government on Wednesday increased the size of the buffer stock of pulses by five times to 8 lakh tonnes for this year as it seeks to sell lentils at a cheaper rate to give relief to consumers.
A decision in this regard was taken at a high-level meeting chaired by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley here.
Pulses prices in retail markets are ruling over Rs 170 per kg now despite several measures to boost supply in the last couple of months.
