NEW DELHI, July 31 (Reuters) - Indian state-run trading firms will import edible oils for subsidised distribution, Farm Minister Sharad Pawar said on Friday.
Government firms stopped importing edible oils last November after they imported about 360,000 tonnes as there was no demand from state governments after international prices fell.
"Yesterday we have taken a decision to allow state-owned public sector undertakings to import edible oil depending on demand from states," he told reporters on the sidelines of an awards function.
