In line with this decision, Union Minister Piyush Goyal on Monday flagged off 130 mobile vans for the sale of atta under the ‘Bharat Atta’ brand in the Delhi-NCR region.

While launching the product, Piyush Goyal said, “The government of India has taken several steps for the welfare of both farmers and consumers. We have procured food commodities every time we saw the people of the country struggle due to rising prices and have sold them at subsidized prices to benefit the consumers,” As per the government, the Bharat Atta will be available in packets of 10 kg and 30 kg respectively and will also be sold at the outlets of Mother Dairy, NAFED and NCCF, among other cooperatives.
