India’s cotton yarn prices climb again as 20s combed yarn rises to Rs 309 per kg
AI Market Summary
Indian cotton yarn prices are rising again despite a temporary import-duty waiver, as domestic cotton demand exceeds supply and global cotton prices are lifted by renewed West Asia conflict and logistics delays. Domestic cotton has moved from ~Rs 63,000 to Rs 68,000–70,000 per candy, pushing 20s combed yarn up and prompting expectations of further near-term increases. The story signals tighter cotton balance and higher input costs for textile exporters.
