# Haryana’s wheat MSP beneficiaries double to 6 lakh in 5 years 2026-08-13T13:51:41+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A report tabled in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday shows the number of wheat farmers in Haryana who sold at MSP nearly doubled from 3.14 lakh in 2022-23 to 6.04 lakh in 2026-27. Over the same period, MSP payments rose from Rs 8,434 crore to Rs 20,992 crore. Haryana now ranks third in wheat MSP beneficiaries, behind Madhya Pradesh (13.42 lakh) and Punjab (8.14 lakh). The latest procurement season saw the sharpest jump, from 4.49 lakh farmers in 2025-26 to 6.04 lakh in 2026-27. State officials attribute the rise to mandatory registration on the e-Kharid portal, which links beneficiaries to land records. However, Haryana has faced allegations of bogus procurement in recent seasons, putting a question mark on the surge. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Farmers, Haryana, MSP, procurement, Rajya Sabha, wheat Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/haryanas-wheat-msp-beneficiaries-double-to-6-lakh-in-5-years/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
