Key observations
- Wheat production increased from 92.29 million tonnes in 2015-16 to 117.94 million tonnes in 2024-25, an increase of about 27.8%.
- Area under wheat rose from 30.42 million hectares to 32.80 million hectares over the period.
- Yield improved from 3,034 kg/ha to 3,595 kg/ha, indicating that productivity growth contributed substantially to the rise in output.
- The 2024-25 values are the highest in this ten-year series for area, production and yield.
