As Chinese demand is set to ease before new crop arrival in April, spinning mills in north India are turning their focus on the domestic market. While cotton yarn prices continue to remain stable as demand from downstream is yet to pick up despite improvement in weather, few spinning mills have reduced their offer price for the domestic market.
“Mills began to reduce their offer prices for cotton yarn as they wanted to focus on domestic sale. Mills will have to explore domestic potential as Chinese demand for cotton and cotton yarn will decline before its new crop arrival in April. Therefore, the difference between mills’ rates and market rates will reduced in the weeks to come. Currently, the difference for cotton yarn was noted at ₹10-15 per kg,” a Delhi-based yarn trader SK Shrivastava told Fibre2Fashion.
Meanwhile, the cotton yarn market in north India continues to reel under poor demand from the downstream industry. Traders were expecting better demand after improvement in weather, but that did not happen. They now do not have big hope from summer season as the downstream industry has sufficient stocks of grey fabrics, finished fabrics and readymade garments.
