Cotton yarn prices down in Delhi, North India faces sluggish demand


North India’s cotton yarn trade was not getting support from any direction. Poor demand from both the domestic weaving industry and the export market forced spinners and stockists to reduce cotton yarn prices in the Delhi market by ₹10 per kg per kg. However, Ludhiana market noted steady trend. Panipat market recorded stable prices of recycled yarn.

In Delhi, yarn prices further decreased by ₹10 per kg as demand remained weak. Buying of cotton yarn from both domestic and export markets remained very slow.

Textile industry across the world is facing slower buying from end consumers.”
