Tamil Nadu Sells Subsidised Fine Rice at ₹30 per Kg via Cooperative Stores
The Tamil Nadu government has launched a price-stabilisation scheme selling A-grade fine rice at ₹30 per kg through cooperative outlets in Coimbatore, Tiruppur, and Erode districts. Eligible families with ration cards can purchase up to 5 kg per household. The scheme aims to ensure affordable rice availability and curb price rises, with allocated quantities distributed across multiple cooperative stores. Officials encourage the public to report service issues via provided contact numbers. The scheme will continue until March 2027.
