India has no immediate plan to lift wheat export ban, says Piyush Goyal

India has no immediate plans to lift a ban on wheat exports, but will continue with deals which are done directly with other governments, commerce minister Piyush Goyal told Reuters. The world's second biggest producer of wheat banned private overseas sales of the grain on May 14 after a scorching heat wave curtailed output and domestic prices hit a record high. Global wheat prices surged after the decision.
