North India’s cotton yarn market has strengthened in recent days as a surge in export enquiries lifted prices and improved sentiment among spinners, trade sources said. Buyers from overseas markets have stepped up interest, prompting mills to firm up offers across several yarn counts.
Market participants said demand has improved particularly for medium and fine counts, with enquiries reported from key export destinations in Asia and the Middle East. The rise in overseas interest has helped offset relatively muted domestic demand, supporting yarn prices in major spinning centres across Punjab, Haryana and parts of Uttar Pradesh.
Spinners noted that improved export visibility has encouraged mills to clear inventories and operate at steadier capacity levels. Some producers have also become more selective in accepting new orders, expecting demand to remain firm in the near term.
Traders added that stable cotton prices and manageable input costs have further supported the market, allowing spinners to pass on modest price increases. However, they cautioned that sustainability of the uptrend will depend on continuity of export orders and currency movements.
Overall, the pick-up in export enquiries has brought cautious optimism to North India’s cotton yarn industry, which had faced pressure from weak global demand in recent months.
