# India Mandates Weekly Rice Stock Disclosure as Inflation Hits 8.25%

> India's food ministry activated a portal requiring traders, millers and retailers to declare rice and paddy stocks every Friday under a November 6 order. The government also doubled its 2026-27 Open Market Sale Scheme e-auction target to 5 million tonnes as retail rice inflation reached 8.25% in September.

## Why it matters

Stock disclosure and larger state e-auctions aim to release supply and curb hoarding, which can cap domestic rice prices and weigh on Asian export demand over time. Trade estimates of lower 2026-27 output, however, limit the bearish effect.
