These 3 basmati rice stocks rally up to 11% amid Israel-Iran ceasefire
In the past two weeks until Monday, these stocks were down in the range of 9 per cent to 14 per cent on the BSE due to the recent 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran.
Rice exports to West Asia
West Asia, representing 74 per cent of India's Basmati rice exports, remains a pivotal market. The region's market presents a substantial growth opportunity for Basmati rice, driven by a combination of demographic, economic, and consumer trends. With a population of approximately 280 million and a significant portion of India's Basmati rice exports already directed to the region, the demand is robust, according to LT Foods.
India is forecasted to remain the largest rice exporter in 2025, with exports projected at 18 million tonnes, up 1.5 million tonnes from the previous year and accounting for over a third of global rice trade. Track LIVE Stock Market Updates Here
Rice stocks rally
Among the individual stocks, LT Foods, which owns the flagship rice brand 'Daawat', has surged 11 per cent to ₹448.90 on the back of a three-fold jump in average trading volumes.

Corn and soy climb on bargain buying, positioning ahead of holiday weekend
US Midwest weather remains favorable for corn and soy crops Soybeans find support in soyoil rally, China rumors Wheat holds firm on short-covering before US holiday weekend (Adds soybeans supported by rumors Trump may announce China trade pact progress, adds closing prices) CHICAGO, July 2 (Reuters) - U.S. grain and soybean futures rose on Wednesday in a bargain-buying and technical advance after recent declines and ahead of the Independence Day holiday weekend, with U.S. markets closed on Friday. Soybeans climbed 2% as soyoil values registered strong gains for a second session on favorable biofuel feedstock policy in the latest version of the U.S. budget bill. Widespread market rumors that U.S. President Donald Trump will report progress on a trade pact with China while visiting farm-heavy Iowa on Thursday propelled gains, analysts said. Reuters could not immediately confirm the market rumors. Corn and wheat each added nearly 3%, drawing spillover support from rising soybeans. "It is a new month and new quarter, so we're seeing a little bit of bottom-picking in these markets. However, U.S. weather looks fantastic," said Terry Reilly, senior agricultural strategist at Marex. Largely favorable crop development weather dragged corn and soybean prices to multi-month lows in recent sessions as warm temperatures and timely rains boosted U.S. harvest prospects. The optimal conditions coincide with harvesting by rival exporter Brazil of what some analysts expect to be a record second-corn crop. Chicago Board of Trade August soybeans settled up 23-3/4 cents at $10.53-1/2 a bushel while new-crop November futures added 20-3/4 cents to $10.48. Buying accelerated as the contracts broke through overhead technical resistance at their 100- and 200-day averages. September corn rose 12 cents to $4.18 a bushel while new-crop December jumped 11-1/2 cents to $4.33-1/2. CBOT September wheat ended up 15 cents at $5.64 a bushel as investors covered more of their large short positions in the market. Abundant supplies were still hanging over the wheat market, with U.S. farmers progressing with their harvest while crops in Europe and the Black Sea region are expected to be sizeable despite harsh weather including a heatwave in western Europe this week.

Antinorm Enters the Indian Beauty Market with Disruptive, Purpose-Built Product Line
VMPL New Delhi [India], July 2: Antinorm, a new-age minimalist beauty and personal care brand founded by former investor Aparna Saxena, officially launched in Delhi with an exclusive event attended by key stakeholders, including early backers and VC partners Arjun Vaidya (V3 Ventures) and Archana Jahagirdar (Rukam Capital), who shared their support for the brand's bold vision. With an initial line-up of fresh takes on the Dry Shampoo, Hair Cream, and Lip Balm, Antinorm aims to redefine the way Indian women approach beauty -- with clean, effective, and intelligently crafted formulations for Indian climate. Antinorm is designed for fast-moving, hard-working Indian women who want results without the clutter. Rooted in clean science and built with minimalist design thinking, the brand challenges the over-engineered routines dominating the beauty market. Every product is multifunctional, rigorously tested, and created for Indian skin, hair, and lifestyle -- factoring in everyday stressors like pollution, humidity, and heat. Speaking on the brand's mission, Aparna Saxena, Founder & CEO of Antinorm, said, "Antinorm is built on the idea that beauty should keep up with life -- not slow it down. After years of investing in and studying Indian consumer behavior, I saw a major gap -- beauty brands were over-promising, under-delivering, and ignoring the realities of Indian skin, climate, and routines. Antinorm is my attempt to fix that. Our mission is simple: less product, more impact. We want to empower women to do more, with less." The grand launch witnessed high consumer interest on Day 1 across online platforms, signaling strong early product-market fit. Antinorm is currently available through its D2C website and will soon be launching on leading e-commerce marketplaces. Plans are also in motion for entry into premium offline retail. Commenting on the launch, Arjun Vaidya, Co-founder and Managing Partner at V3 Ventures, said,"At V3 Ventures, we look for brands with founder-market fit, and AntiNorm exemplifies that. Aparna's deep consumer investing experience and product-first approach have resulted in a brand that breaks through the clutter with thoughtfulness and purpose. AntiNorm isn't just another beauty label--it's a fresh perspective on what Indian women truly need." Commenting on the Archana, General Partner at Rukam Capital, added, "You rarely get an opportunity to unveil an entire range of a brand that is built for consumers who seek simple yet effective skincare. When Aparna first spoke to us, we were impressed by how she listened to the market and the needs of millions of potential consumers. She envisioned innovating for Indian women, who are high-performers and always on the move. She focused on essential, not excessive, while formulating products that are attuned to Indian hair and skin. This vision and understanding of the market also percolated into how she communicates with her audience, making a direct connection with her consumers." With new SKUs in development, a strong D2C strategy, and an ARR target of ₹20 crore by FY25-26, Antinorm is poised to disrupt the Indian beauty landscape. Built at the intersection of clean science, sustainability, and function -- this is not just another brand launch, it's a movement to simplify beauty care for a generation that's doing it all. About AntiNorm AntiNorm is a new-age D2C beauty and personal care brand designed for fast-moving, hard-working Indian women. Built at the intersection of clean science, functionality, and minimalism, the brand exists to challenge the cluttered, over-engineered beauty routines that dominate the industry today. Founded by Aparna Saxena, a former Silicon Valley investor who turned entrepreneur, AntiNorm was born from a simple insight -- most Indian women don't need more, they need better. Beauty products that work as hard as they do. That move seamlessly with them from early meetings to late-night plans. That deliver real results without the drama. At its core, AntiNorm is purpose-built: utility-first formulations designed to replace multiple steps in a care routine, with no compromise on performance. Backed by deep research, activity mapping, and a lab-first approach, each product is clean, conscious, and crafted for Indian skin, hair, and climate realities -- including stressors like pollution, humidity, and heat. Inspired by product thinking from the tech world, AntiNorm approaches beauty like a SaaS company would -- simplifying user experience, solving friction points, and constantly iterating based on real user insight. The brand also takes pride in its commitment to sustainability, with travel-friendly, spill-proof, and fully recyclable packaging that reflects its dedication to reducing environmental impact. Every packaging innovation is designed for convenience while aligning with the modern consumer's demand for responsible, eco-conscious beauty. In a market built to sell more, Antinorm is here to solve better. Its philosophy is unapologetically clear: Less product. More impact. Designed to keep up with women who do it all. AntiNorm isn't just a brand. It's a movement -- rewriting the rules of beauty care, one clean, effective, intelligently made product at a time.
