NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India will not lower the wheat import tax for now and the commodity will not be imported through government channels, a food ministry source told Reuters on Thursday.

Private traders are however expected to import about 3 million tonnes of wheat in the current fiscal year that ends in March. They have so far imported 1.2 million tonnes, the source said.
