Consumers in the Delhi-NCR region will be able to order Bharat brand rice, wheat flour and lentils through the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC). The Network has collaborated with the National Cooperative Consumers’ Federation of India (NCCF), and Shiprocket to support the government’s “Sarkar se Rasoi Tak” initiative. This initiative is expected to be expanded to other cities too.
“Through this initiative, residents of the Delhi NCR region (Gurgaon and Faridabad) will be able to order Bharat brand rice (Bharat Chawal), wheat flour (Bharat Atta), and lentils (Bharat Daal) online with the guarantee of government-approved prices. Orders are shipped within 24 hours and free of delivery charges,” the official statement added. Consumers can place orders for these products through ONDC-supported buyer applications such as Paytm, Magicpin, Mystore, and Pincode
