“Our monthly consumption comes around 250 to 300 tons, the raw material costs nearly Rs80 to 100 per kilogram and an addition of five percent makes it all the more expensive. In total around 1,500 tons of PTY and more than 300 denier count and super specialty stretch yarn is consumed by the local enterprises every month.”
