6. During the 10 year period, the net out-put value in the domestic yarns registered an increase of about Rs 2000 per spindle per year, ranging from Rs 1500 in 40s CH and 100s C to Rs 2900 in 30s CH. This overall increase is due to increase in NOV per kg as well as production per spindle, almost in equal proportions.
7. In the case of export yarns, the overall increase in NOV in 2006, as compared to 1997, is low at Rs 720 per spindle which is only one-third of the corresponding increase in the domestic yarns. Though the production per spindle registered an increase of about 18%, the drop in NOV per kg has lowered the NOV per spindle drastically.
8. Since the increase in yarn prices in recent years is at a very low rate, profitability of spinning mills presently depends largely on the cotton cost.
