India's grain-storage system has grown slowly (851→918 LMT, FCI+State, 2018→2025) while
central-pool stock swings 300–900 LMT with the crop cycle. The World's Largest Grain Storage
Plan (2023, ₹1 lakh cr) now adds +700 LMT of cooperative (PACS) capacity to lift total
agri-storage from 1,450 to 2,150 LMT. Each figure is PIB-sourced (below).
FCI + State covered+CAP (LMT)+ cooperative / total agri-storage (plan)peak central-pool stock (LMT)2,150 LMT target
The scenario story: in mid-2021 stock hit a record ~907 LMT — brushing
the covered-godown ceiling and spilling into open CAP/hired space (FCI is 70% hired, only ~147 LMT
owned). The cooperative plan fixes this at the village level (PACS godowns, 1,000 MT each; 2,000 MT
hubs) — turning rented, centralised, over-stretched storage into owned, distributed capacity that doubles
as procurement centres, Fair Price Shops and processing units — the feedstock node for the biorefinery.

Chemical Import Substitution — Full HSN-8 Chapter-Wise Registry ← All Articles (Index) Every 8-digit HSN code across Chapters 28, 29, 31, 32, 33, 34, 38 & 39 where India ran a FY2025-26 trade deficit (import − export ≥ US$0.5M) — 827 codes, US$67.9B combined deficit — scored against a value/volume/price signal framework and cross-checked against public reporting. 827 qualifying HSN-8 codes $67.9B combined FY26 deficit 34 Scissors Effect (active substitution) 65 high-value inelastic targets Signal framework applied (and its honest limits) Every qualifying code is scored on value growth, import-volume growth, and unit-price growth (FY2024-25 → FY2025-26, matched from DGCI&S TradeStat's separate Value and Quantity files at the 8-digit HS level, 802/827 codes matched): Scissors Effect — import value AND volume both falling ≥10% while unit price rises ≥5%: only high-end/niche variants still being imported — the textbook active-substitution si...
MoSPI Dataset Analysis — Statistical Bulletin Where India's inflation runs hottest ← All Articles (Index) Combined-sector CPI, year-on-year inflation by state, June 2026, shaded low to high against the scale below. The All-India rate is 4.38%. SOURCE: api.mospi.gov.in via MoSPI MCP connector · CPI base year 2024, series "Current" · states without a tracked reading shown in gray YoY inflation, Jun 2026 2.96% 4.65% 6.36% Not tracked in this dataset Ranked, hottest first 13 of 28 states are tracked in this dataset (see the earlier CPI/WPI trend chart); the rest have no reading here, not necessarily low inflation. WPI has no state-level breakdown in MoSPI's data, so only CPI can be mapped this way. herrrickshaw/mospi-d...
