<h1>Opposition says duty waiver on yellow peas fuels cheap imports, hurts farmers and benefits major conglomerate</h1> An opposition party alleged that a recent government import policy exempting basic customs duty on yellow peas has led to substantial imports at lower prices, harming domestic pulse farmers and enriching a major conglomerate accused of being the largest importer. The party contended the duty removal-initially temporary to curb food inflation and now extended to March 2026-undermines minimum support price protections and ignored recommendations from advisory bodies and the Supreme Court to restrict unrestricted imports. The government and the conglomerate had no immediate response to the allegations.
