Tamil Nadu's Cooperative Minister V. Gandhiraj said state rice prices should return to normal within two months.
The government has increased supplies through cooperative outlets and fair-price shops, with fine rice sold at 30 rupees per kilogram. Broken rice prices internationally have climbed above $360 a tonne.
State-level supply measures are a local affordability response and have limited effect on world rice prices. The comments do signal that authorities are watching prices closely, which may influence any federal export decisions.
