North India cotton yarn steady amid weak exports, Bangladesh crisis

India&#**;s home textile hub, Panipat, also experienced stability in recycled yarn prices, although weak export demand for home textile products posed challenges. Prices for cotton comber and recycled polyester fibre fell slightly in the market.

The Ludhiana market continued to see normal demand for cotton yarn, with prices showing no significant movement. However, mills were looking to raise their rates to offset the disparity in production costs. A trader from Ludhiana told Fibre2Fashion, “Domestic demand was normal, in line with the festival season. But the sudden drop in shipments to Bangladesh has created a significant gap that cannot be easily covered. The neighbouring country was importing not just fabric but also yarn. The shortfall in export demand cannot be fulfilled by the local market.”
