## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE FOR MINISTRY OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS, FOOD & PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION

(SHRIMATI NIMUBEN JAYANTIBHAI BAMBHANIYA)

(a) &  (b):  The Government through Food Corporation of  India (FCI) continuously  assesses storage gap and monitors storage capacity. Based on the storage gap assessment, storage capacities are created/hired. The requirement of  Storage capacity in  FCI depends upon the level of  procurement, requirement of buffer norms and public  distribution  operations for Rice and Wheat mainly.

FCI hires  storage capacities from  Central  Warehousing  Corporation (CWC)  / State Warehousing Corporations (SWCs) /  State Agencies/ Private Agencies wherever required while ensuring optimum  utilization of  existing  capacities. Further,  FCI  is augmenting  its  storage capacity through following schemes : -

- I Private Entrepreneurs Guarantee (PEG) Scheme
- 11 Private Warehousing Scheme (PWS)
- 111 Creation of godown under Asset Monetization
- IV Hiring of godown from CWC / SWCs / State Agencies
- VI Construction of  SILOs under Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode
- V Central Sector Scheme (CSS) 'Storage & Godown'

As on 01.02.2026, total Covered Storage Capacity available with  FCI and State agencies throughout the country for  storage  of Central Pool food grain stock is 852.59 LMT.  The State-wise details are enclosed at Annexure-A.

Further, total storage capacity available with CWC is 163.87 LMT.  The State-wise details are enclosed at Annexure-B.

- (c): Details of procurement made by the Government for Central Pool during last three years for Paddy, Wheat &  Coarse grains are enclosed at Annexure-C,  Annexure-D  &  Annexure-E respectively.
- (d): FCI  is storing &  handling large quantities of foodgrains over longer period for  distribution under various welfare schemes of  Government. It  also maintains buffer  &  strategic reserve  for the country  to  ensure  food  security. Only  a very  small  quantity of  foodgrains is reported  as damaged, largely attributable to natural calamities such as cyclones, floods, and heavy rains.

The region-wise details of  damaged foodgrains for the last three years are at Artnexure-F .

Further, the factors involved  for such damage during this period are outlined below:

- (e): Following Steps have been taken by the Government to expand modern storage infrastructure :-

## Smart Warehouse Project  :-

DFPD is implementing smart warehouse project in 150 FCI's owned and all CWC food grain warehouses.  Smart warehouses are equipped with  different  loT  sensors like  smoke, fire,  gate, C02, phosphine levels, humidity, rodent control.

Smart warehouse ensures real-time  visibility, timely intervention,  data-driven  decisionmaking  &  standardized operations across all  depots contributing to ensure safe, secure, and efficient food grain storage and distribution.

## Depot Darpan Portal:-

Depot Darpan Portal is  a digital platform launched by this  Department to enhance the monitoring, transparency and efficiency  of food-grain storage depots under PDS .

This Portal uses a composite scoring system, assessing  depots on two  broad categories: Infrastructure and Operational Parameters.  Based on the scores, each depot receives a star rating, which  is meant to provide a quick assessment of depot performance. Validation  of data is built  into the process via  100% supervisory officer  verification  and some random third-party audits to ensure reliability.

## 'Anna Chakra'  PDS Supply Chain Optimization Tool:-

Department of  Food and Public  Distribution  (DFPD)  has implemented 'Anna Chakra' tool for PDS Supply Chain Optimization. The tool is designed to streamline the PDS supply chain, improving efficiency, cutting carbon emissions, and reducing overall costs while  supporting 81 crore vulnerable citizens. Early  results are encouraging, transportation costs are estimated to be  reduced by nearly Rs. 250 crore annually. Using state-specific algorithms, the system optimizes routing based on warehouse locations, storage capacities, and road distances, achieving a 15 to  50% reduction in transport distances.

## 'Anna Chakra" Inter-state Route optimization tool :-

Inter-state movement optimization  has been undertaken to  streamline and enhance the interstate movement operations offoodgrains,  primarily  by rail, undertaken by the Food Corporation of India (FCI). These movements  are planned to meet Public Distribution  System  (PDS) requirements in consuming states while  simultaneously managing storage  space in procuring  or surplus regions. The daily planning and execution of these operations is carried out by FCI using the tool developed for this purpose

## Construction of Modern Silos :-

Further, to upgrade and modernize the storage  facilities,  Government of  India has approved construction of  Steel Silos  for  bulk  storage of  food  grains across the  country  under PPP mode. Accordingly, Silos at 57  locations with  capacity 32.25 Lakh MT  have been created (as on 3 1  .0 1.2026).

Steel Silo  storage with  bulk  handling  is a highly  automated and modernised method of storing food grains in bulk. It consists  of storage  of food grains in monitored atmosphere in bulk form. Silo requires  mechanized handling for loading and unloading. It ensures better preservation  of food grains and enhances its shelf life.  Losses due to theft, pilferage, and transportation would be negligible if food grains were stored in Silos and transported  in bulk,  as opposed to food  grains stored in bags in conventional  warehouses.

Steps taken by the Government to minimise storage  losses and transit losses is attached as Annexure-G.

## Measures taken to reduce Storage Losses are as under:  -

Physical measures like installation  of barbed wire fencing of the boundary walls, provision of  street lights for illumination  of godowns and proper locking  of the sheds are taken to secure the godowns.

- CCTV cameras are installed in owned depots for better surveillance and supervision.
- Security staff  of  FCI,  Home  Guards and other external agencies is being deployed at FCI depots to ensure safety and security  of the stock.
- Periodical  prophylactic  and curative treatment of  food  grains stocks is undertaken to  keep them free from pests/infestations  i.e. to minimize  losses due to biotic factors.
- The mandatory inspections of highest Storage loss depot in a Zone and Region  are conducted by EDs (Zone) and GMs(R) respectively.
- Disciplinary  action is  being initiated against delinquents after due investigation, wherever abnormal/unjustified losses are reported as per ICAR norms.
- The position  of Storage losses is reviewed  in Monthly  Performance Review  Meetings (MPR) at HQ level

## Measures taken  to reduce Transit Losses are as under:  -

- Implementation of  high security cable seals on wagons at the time of  loading of foodgrains to avoid tempering enroute pilferage w.e.f 1 .01.2023. This led to huge reduction in TL cases of above 0.50% from 997 (during2021-22) to 55 during (2025-26 upto Feb'26).
- Spreading of  Polythene Sheet on the floor  of railway  wagons to retrieve the spilled-over graIns .
- Deployment of  Independent Consignment Certification  Squad (ICCS) at the time of loading /unloading.
- Joint Verification  of high Transit Loss cases to fix  responsibility. The lower limit  of TL for JV's  has been reduced from  1% to 0.75% and further  0.50(% w.e.f  1.10.2022
- Made-up bags accured at railhead are being accounted.
- Chronic Rail  Heads (RH)  which  are showing higher losses have been identified and loading/unloading at these RH are being supervised from  Regional/Zonal office level.
- Investigation  of  High Transit Loss cases at HQ/Zone/Region/District levels at regular intervals.
- Disciplinary  action is also initiated against delinquent's wherever abnormal/unjustified transit losses are reported.
- Transit losses are reviewed in Monthly  Performance Review Meeting at Hqrs level
