India's polyester, PC & viscose yarn steady; optimism grows for FY26

Insights

Yarn markets in India remained mostly steady amid weak demand at the close of fiscal ****–****.
Viscose compact yarn declined, while polyester-cotton and polyester yarn prices were stable in Surat, Mumbai, and Ludhiana.
Slow payment flows and annual account closings affected buying.
Market experts expect improved demand in April with better liquidity and stronger cotton fundamentals.

Market experts are optimistic about better demand at the beginning of the new fiscal ****–** in April. They said that the consumer industry and stockists may buy for the longer term as payment flow is expected to improve. Stronger fundamentals in cotton fibre may also provide direct or indirect support to India’s man-made and blended yarn markets.

PC and polyester yarn prices hovered at previous levels in the Ludhiana market. There was slow demand from the consumer industry and stockists, as they were occupied with annual closing during the final days of the current fiscal ****–**. A trader from the Ludhiana market told Fibre2Fashion, “Buying interest further decreased among the consumer industry and stockists as they are more focused on settling their accounts and tax planning. Slow payment flow also influenced polyester and PC yarn prices in the market.”
