India, Jan. 20 -- The Government of India has issued a release:
The stock limits imposed by Jute Commissioner through the notification dated 18.12.2025 are now revised to ensure fair distribution, prevent hoarding and speculative practices in the trade of raw jute. The stock limits are revised and issued in terms of the provisions of the Jute and Jute Textiles Control Order, 2016.
The revision has been necessitated by the sharp rise in Jute prices in the past few months, which are well above the minimum support price (MSP) for 2025-26. Moreover, various stakeholders have also expressed concerns regarding availability of raw jute.
The revised stock limits of raw jute are as follows:
Jute Stock Limits
Regulatory Instructions
Enforcement and Compliance
The volatility in the prices and speculative increases have the potential to threaten the jute industry and has potential for disruption in the production and employment in the industry. These measures are intended to stabilise jute supply, prevent market manipulation, and support the interests of farmers, manufacturers, and consumers nationwide.
