MUMBAI: Shares of rice exporters jumped up to over 7 per cent on the BSE after the government allowed limited export of non-basmati rice.
Shares of KRBL jumped 7.18 per cent to close at Rs 29.10 on BSE. Others, like LT Foods and Kohinoor Foods, too, saw buying interest at their respective counters irrespective of the bearish trend in the market.
