Indian government Thursday approved a proposal for continuing the export of wheat and non- basmati rice without any restrictions, reported Indo-Asian News Service.

The proposal was moved by Commerce Department and was approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, which also kept in view of the adequate availability of wheat and non-basmati rice in the domestic market, according to the report.

The decision would help enhance competitiveness of Indian wheat and rice in international markets and earn foreign exchange for the country, said the report.
