Our Assessment

high

MSP has continued to be raised each season in line with the pledge. The CCEA approved higher MSP for 14 Kharif crops for 2025-26 (paddy up Rs 69 to Rs 2,369 per quintal; large hikes for nigerseed, ragi, cotton, sesamum) and for Rabi 2026-27 (wheat up Rs 160 to Rs 2,585 per quintal), maintaining the policy of fixing MSP at least 1.5 times the all-India weighted average cost of production. A further Kharif 2026-27 MSP hike was approved in May 2026. The pledge to continue increasing MSP from time to time is being fulfilled. (Note: this pledge concerns periodic MSP increases, not a legal guarantee of MSP, which is a separate demand.)
