What happened

Rice prices are rising in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, driven by increasing production costs and stronger consumption demand. Superfine rice, for instance, increased from Rs 1,720 to Rs 1,950 for a 26-kg bag, while fine rice rose from Rs 1,500 to Rs 1,640. This upward trend has also been observed in Madurai and Coimbatore.
