In steel silos, the grain could be preserved for a longer time, at least two years. The Centre wants to end CAP storage which is practically storage in open, covered with tarpaulin exposed to the vagaries of weather and curtailing the shelf-life of the grain. Apart from this, the state has covered storage godowns spread out across the state with a total capacity of 156 lakh tonnes and there is also covered area plinths (CAP) storage of 68 lakh tonnes. Two more silos of 50,000 tonnes capacity each are coming up in Chheharta and Batala.

Punjab already has an existing silos capacity of 6.25, out of which Adanis has a 2 lakh tonnes capacity silo in Moga, the state government’s procurement agency Pungrain has a silos capacity of 2 lakh tonnes, and other private companies operate steel silos in Patiala (one lakh tonnes capacity), Sangrur (50,000 tonnes), Barnala (50,000 tonnes) and Kotakpura (25,000 tonnes). Tuesday was the last day for receiving queries and August 8 is the final day for the opening qualification proposals to be followed by the opening of financial proposals for which the date will be announced later. “The government wants to push out small entrepreneurs as they are curtailing guarantees but for new entrants, long-term storage guarantees are offered,” said a godown owner from Punjab. Under the new scheme, the FCI offers a storage guarantee for a period of 30 years. It said if not a single company, a consortium could be formed by the smaller entities.

However, the FCI wants to put an end to operational hassles. The proposal has invited criticism from a section of foodgrain storage godown owners as according to them, the proposal will be a roadblock for small entrepreneurs.
