India doubled its target for rice sales to private traders under its open-market scheme to 5 million tonnes for the 2026/27 financial year, after selling 2.5 million tonnes so far. The government cited rising price concerns amid below-normal monsoon rainfall and authorized five southern states to impose stock limits through January 31, 2027.
Government sales add rice to the domestic market while stock limits are intended to curb hoarding, putting downward pressure on prices. The reported production risk from deficient rainfall could offset some of that bearish supply effect.
