Niti Aayog Strategy to Double Pulses Production by 2047:
Niti Aayog has released a comprehensive strategy to make India self-sufficient in pulses by 2030 and double its production by 2047. The report outlines a roadmap that integrates technological, ecological, and socio-economic interventions, aiming to transform the pulses sector into a pillar of India’s food and nutritional security. Currently producing 26.06 million tonnes (MT) of pulses (as of 2022), India is projected to increase production to 34.45 MT by 2030 and further to 51.57 MT by 2047, marking a potential surplus scenario in the coming decades.
