Realising the importance of nutri-rich millet crops, the UN declared 2023 as an International Year of Millets (IYOM). Millets have been cultivated in India for centuries, and the country is now a major global producer of these grains, with a wide variety across different agro-climatic condition. This article proposed to study the policy initiatives related to millets by the Government of India. The growth is area, production and yield from 1950-51 to 2020-21 and export of millets from 2003-04 to 2022-23, India’s world share of millets are examined. The study analysed the instability of cultivation and exporting millets from while India. The result shows that while the area and production of millets has negative growth in the study period but the yield has a positive growth. Export of millets has higher positive growth rate in both quantity and value of export from India. The millets cultivation demonstrates low instability. Export of millets has higher instability. The result shows Indian millets has export potential in the years to come.
