Strongly aromatic basmati with low chalkiness, one of India's three biggest export varieties.
Pusa Basmati 6 (Pusa 1401)
Released in 2008 as Pusa Basmati 6 and traded as 1401, this variety is known for its strong basmati aroma and grains that keep a uniform shape on cooking. Its grain chalkiness is below 4%, which matters for export grading. Together with 1121 and 1509 it makes up over 90% of India's basmati exports.
