India doubled its FY2026-27 open-market rice sale target to 5 million tonnes from 2.5 million tonnes, with another 2.5 million tonnes scheduled for sale over the remaining five months. The government had already sold 2.5 million tonnes by October 31, as rising prices and forecasts of lower production—especially in southern states—prompted the move.
Additional government stocks should augment domestic rice availability and moderate Indian prices. The expected production shortfall is a countervailing supply risk, but the larger sales target is bearish for domestic rice prices.
