The Indian Council of
Agriculture Research (ICAR) estimated food grain production of 250 million tones
for 2011-12. In the past it has never touched this figure at all. It
came true. The highest was last year at the level of over 257 million
tones.
The All India data for
the years 1966-67 to 2011-12 for Area, Production and Yield is as below:

It can be seen that the Sown Area under food-grains remains all
most static and is around 123 million Hectares. Even time trend is around
this figure. Only for the last two years
it has exceeded 125 million hectares. Retention
of this figure can be safely taken for the year 2012-13. It is only the yield
which has been increasing over many years by now. If we estimate the
yield by linear trend, it comes out to be around 1975 Kgs. Per hectare. Using
these two figures, production estimate would be around 247 million tones for
the year 2012-13 for All-India.
