Commission for Air Quality Management rules limiting Delhi industrial operations are hitting about 400 rice mills, which need continuous processing of about 24 hours per batch.

Processing disruptions at Delhi mills reduce near-term rice export supply, which is mildly supportive for global rice prices.
