Slow paddy lifting delays MSP payments to Haryana farmers

Haryana farmers await MSP payments as slow paddy lifting has stalled dues worth ₹6,389.6 crore during KMS 2026-27. Of 36.4 LMT auctioned, only 27.7 LMT has been lifted, leaving 8 LMT payments on hold. Technical glitches in vehicle-tracking, GPS failures, and internet issues are slowing operations in Karnal, Fatehabad, Kaithal, and Sirsa mandis.
