Cotton yarn prices in North India, particularly in Ludhiana, have moved higher amid improved export demand and increased buying activity from overseas markets, industry sources said.
Traders noted that stronger export enquiries from key destinations including Bangladesh, China, and parts of the Middle East have supported yarn prices over recent weeks. Improved demand from the textile and garment sectors has also encouraged mills to raise quotations across multiple yarn counts.
Market participants said cotton yarn manufacturers in Ludhiana are witnessing better order flows after a prolonged period of weak demand and price pressure. Export-oriented spinning mills have benefited from renewed buying interest as global buyers seek alternative sourcing destinations amid supply chain adjustments.
Industry officials added that firm raw cotton prices and higher production costs have further contributed to the upward movement in yarn rates. However, domestic demand from downstream weaving and knitting units remains relatively moderate, limiting sharper price increases.
Textile exporters said stable export orders and improving international market sentiment could continue to support yarn prices in the near term, although volatility in cotton prices and freight costs remains a concern for the industry.
Ludhiana remains one of North India’s major textile manufacturing hubs, supplying cotton yarn and knitted products to both domestic and international markets.
