Telangana is on the course crossing procurement of 75 lakh metric tonne of paddy, surpassing the record 74.2 lakh metric tonne procurement during Rabi season last year.
Procurement this year has already crossed 70 lakh metric tonne and another 4.95 lakh metric tonne remains to be procured at purchase centres.
