Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for wheat bran and residues in India expanded from 7.5 million tons in 2018 to 8.0 million tons in 2023, with notable growth in 2020 and 2022. This increase was primarily driven by the expansion of wheat milling activity, fueled by population growth and rising disposable incomes, which boosted flour production and consequently bran availability.

In value terms, the market experienced volatility, dropping to $1.9 billion in 2020 before recovering to $2.6 billion by 2023. The maintained 5% GST rate for bran and residues under HSN 2302 influenced pricing and taxation, while diversification of bran usage into animal feed and industrial applications supported demand. India's wheat production reached 314.51 million tons in 2021-22, ensuring raw material supply for residue generation.

By 2023, market volume stabilized at 8.0 million tons, with value continuing a moderate upward trend. In 2024, initiatives such as the recognition of skill development courses in wheat milling highlighted ongoing attention to improving processing efficiency for bran and residues.
