Government extends deadline for exports of broken rice consignments till Oct 15

The government on Wednesday extended the deadline for export of broken rice in transit by 15 days till October 15. A few days ago, the deadline was revised to September 30 from September 15.

It had banned the export of broken rice on September 8 but allowed shipments of certain consignments during September 9-15. On September 20, the date was extended till September 30.

"Export of consignments of broken rice...as permissible under notification dated September 8 has been...extended till October 15, 2022," PTI quoted the Directorate General of Foreign Trade as saying in a notification.


India banned exports of broken rice and imposed a 20% duty on exports of various grades of rice as the world's biggest exporter of the grain tries to augment supplies and calm local prices after below-average monsoon rainfall curtailed planting.
