Jute Commissioner reduces permissible stockholding limits for raw jute by traders, mills amid price surge

22 Jan 2026 Evaluate

Amid a surge in prices of jute to around Rs 13,000 per quintal, Jute Commissioner Amrit Raj has reduced the permissible stockholding limits for raw jute by traders and mills with immediate effect. The move partially modified an earlier order issued in December 2025 and was aimed at curbing hoarding and stabilising the raw jute market.

Under the revised norms, registered balers can now hold a maximum of 1,200 quintals of raw jute, while the limits for other registered stockists have been capped at 150 quintals. Unregistered traders have been barred from holding more than 5 quintals. Jute mills have been allowed to maintain raw jute stocks, equivalent to only 30 days of consumption, calculated on the basis of their current production levels.

Amrit Raj has directed all entities holding stocks beyond the revised limits to liquidate the excess within 10 days. State police and enforcement agencies have been authorised to enter premises, verify stock declarations and seize raw jute held in violation of the order.
