Government Revises Raw Jute Stock Limits and Intensifies Dehoarding Measures

The Indian government, led by Union Textiles Minister Giriraj Singh, has revised raw jute stock limits to address rising prices and supply concerns. Stock caps for jute mills have been increased to allow up to 45 days of consumption, while limits for traders and balers have been lowered to prevent hoarding. The government is intensifying a dehoarding drive, raising B-twill jute bag prices, and promoting certified jute seed distribution to support farmers and ensure steady raw jute availability for the industry.
