Are There Any Restrictions on Non-Basmati Rice Exports?

India, being a major rice-producing country in the world, regularly revises its export policy to strike a balance between local requirements and foreign trade. Currently, as of 2025 most export restrictions on non-basmati rice have been removed to facilitate world trade and help farmers.

Earlier the Indian government had put a non-basmati white rice export duty and minimum export price (MEP). Yet by October 2024, these were lifted, enabling Non Basmati Rice Exporters to restart exports overseas without significant regulatory roadblocks. This was done as a result of rising domestic inventory and positive crop outlook.

The lone exception to the trading restrictions is the export prohibition of 100% broken rice which continues because of its essential use in indigenous animal feed as well as ethanol production.

For traders and businesses, this policy change holds new possibilities and non Basmati rice exporters are encouraged to remain informed with official notices through DGFT or APEDA for uninterrupted international trade.
