The production has surpassed last year's output of 117.94 MT by around 2.71 MT.

India has achieved a record wheat production of 120.65 million tonnes (MT) during the 2025-26 rabi season, according to the third advance estimate released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare. The production has surpassed last year's output of 117.94 MT by around 2.71 MT despite weather-related challenges in some regions. Wheat was cultivated over 336 lakh hectares across the country, resulting in the highest-ever production.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
