Cotton yarn prices hold steady amid slow demand in north India

In Ludhiana, cotton yarn prices were stable, but demand remained weak.

There is little likelihood of a demand revival before the Diwali festival. The market is currently more focused on payment collection and the upcoming festival, rather than on sales."
