Polyester yarn down in India after raw material price cut by RIL

[ad_1]



Polyester and polyester-cotton yarn prices dropped further by up to ₹20 per kg in India’s Ludhiana market today. Poor demand and cheaper man-made fibre were responsible for the downtrend. However, trade sources expect better demand from downstream industries by end of July. Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) had cut prices of polyester raw materials last week.

A Ludhiana-based trader told Fibre2Fashion, “Demand was still poor, but the market will get support because yarn prices have declined to an attractive level. Emptied pipeline will also force buyers to turn up to the market.” Polyester yarn prices are declining, which is adding value for the buyers. A Surat-based trader said that market conditions are turning to positive which will support market price very soon. Last week, market leader RIL had slashed prices of raw materials by 10 per cent after drop in crude oil and pressure on Chinese prices. Cheaper raw materials encouraged spinning mills to cut yarn prices.
