Cotton yarn prices in Ludhiana rise amid surging PC yarn demand

*.*pt"> The recent rise in polyester-cotton (PC) yarn prices has buoyed cotton yarn prices in the Ludhiana market, as the price gap between these two yarn varieties has narrowed. Specifically, cotton yarn prices edged up by &#****;* per kilogram. The spike in PC yarn prices, driven by robust demand for summer garments in the domestic market, has subsequently enhanced sentiment in the cotton yarn sector. Despite this, the Delhi market has seen stable cotton yarn prices, with no marked improvement in the garment export segment. The weaving industry remains cautious in purchasing cotton yarn, not anticipating an immediate uptick in fabric uptake from the garment industry.

However, it&#**;s important to note that PC yarn prices had risen from a very low base, having been traded below production cost, whereas cotton yarn has been trading at better prices recently.”
