Bulk traders can now stock 3,000 metric tonnes (MT), while retailers can hold up to 10 MT of the grain, a Centre's notification said.

For millers and processors, the government allowed a stock limit of 70% of the monthly installed capacity multiplied by the remaining months. The order directed the commercial entities to declare the stock position on the portal created by the department of food and public distribution.
