North India cotton yarn down amid slow demand, tariff concerns persist

Insights

North India's cotton yarn market weakened as slow demand and US tariff concerns pressured stockists to cut prices, though mills resisted deeper reductions. Delhi and Ludhiana saw declines of ₹*-* per kg, while Panipat's recycled yarn held steady despite weak orders. Falling cotton prices after duty removal added pressure, highlighting export reliance amid subdued domestic demand.

In Delhi, cotton yarn prices declined across various counts and varieties. A trader told Fibre2Fashion, “Spinning mills and stockists are under pressure due to weak buying. Stockists and traders are selling cotton yarn at lower prices, but mills are avoiding reducing their mill rates. Liquidity constraints are also hurting buyers’ capacity. The market is struggling with a cash crunch due to huge stocks in the textile value chain.”
