Amit Shah Inaugurates Turmeric Board HQ in Nizamabad
In a major move to empower turmeric farmers and boost exports, Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the National Headquarters of the Turmeric Board in Nizamabad, Telangana on June 30, 2025. The initiative reflects the government’s focused effort to enhance turmeric production, branding, research, and global trade. With a strong backing of ₹200 crore and the vision of achieving $1 billion in turmeric exports by 2030, the board is poised to play a transformative role in India’s spice economy.
The inauguration of the National Turmeric Board’s headquarters in Nizamabad is a significant development, especially since it was a long-standing demand of local farmers. The board’s launch fulfills a key poll promise made by BJP during the 2019 elections and reflects the Centre’s renewed push to promote Indian spices in international markets.
