Tamil Nadu Imposes Stock Limits on Rice, Pulses to Curb Hoarding and Price Rise
The Tamil Nadu government has imposed stock limits on paddy, rice, tur dal, and urad dal to prevent hoarding and stabilize prices amid rising inflation. Wholesalers, retailers, millers, processors, and importers must adhere to specified maximum stock quantities, with excess stocks to be cleared by November 16. These measures, effective immediately and lasting until January 31, 2027, aim to ensure equitable distribution and availability at fair prices. Opposition leaders have criticized the government over rising food costs, while the government emphasizes supply regulation.
