Tamil Nadu imposes stock limits on paddy, rice and pulses to curb hoarding and stabilise supplies amid rising prices. The orders apply across the state and set different ceilings for wholesalers and retailers, limiting how much can be held for each commodity.
The reported limits vary by commodity and buyer type. Business Line and India Today focus on stock caps for paddy and rice, while NDTV adds that the rules extend to pulses and specifies higher ceilings for wholesalers and separate per-variety limits for retailers. The Hindu also highlights enforcement timing, saying excess holdings must be cleared by November 16 and that the orders take effect immediately.
