# Centre Raises FY27 Rice Sale Target To 5 Mn Tonne Amid Price Pressures

> India’s government plans to raise its rice sale target for fiscal 2027 to 5 million tonnes, including an additional 2.5 million tonnes sold through e-auctions by March 2027. The measure is intended to increase domestic supply amid lower production estimates in southern states and rising retail prices.

## Why it matters

More government rice releases would increase domestic availability and could temper Indian rice prices despite the tighter production outlook. The additional supply may also reduce pressure on buyers competing for domestic stocks.
