Punjab eases rice milling norms ahead of paddy procurement
Punjab's government has approved a new policy for rice millers, requiring them to deliver 90% of rice from their previous allocations by the 2025-26 season to be eligible for fresh paddy batches. This decision comes amid a storage squeeze ahead of the upcoming paddy procurement season. The state cabinet cleared a proposal allowing millers who have already delivered at least 90% of rice due from their prior allotments to receive new paddy.
