Indian monsoon revival my not improve rice harvest

A late revival of the monsoon activity in some of the worst drought affected
regions has helped to contain further yield losses in kharif (fall and early
winter harvested) crops such as rice and improve planting prospects for rabi
(winter) season crops (wheat, rapeseed and pulses). However, it is unclear
whether these rains would encourage significant additional planting of rice
in the kharif season as the normal window of opportunity for planting of
rice is over in most sates.
