Business Standard (SKM protest launch) · India · India's kharif MSP hike fails to satisfy farm unions as Supreme Court considers legal guarantee petition
Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) announced a protest cycle starting May 27, 2026, objecting to the kharif MSP order on grounds that the Rs 72 paddy hike is below inflation and that the government continues to use A2+FL cost accounting rather than the C2+50% formula (Swaminathan Commission recommendation). SKM plans Rail Roko and Rasta Roko actions in Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. August 10 designated as a national mobilisation day.
“SKM launched a protest cycle from May 27 against the kharif MSP order, demanding a legal guarantee at C2+50% rather than the government's A2+FL cost formula.”
