North India cotton yarn prices unchanged on tight supply
In Ludhiana, traders faced a supply shortage from spinning mills. Limited availability gave mills the leverage to maintain prices, with cotton yarn hovering at previous levels. A Ludhiana-based trader told Fibre*Fashion, “Spinning mills have already sold large quantities of cotton yarn. They have reduced supply in the domestic market to fulfil their export commitments. Limited supply helped mills to keep cotton yarn prices stable in the local market.” It may be noted that domestic demand remained slow due to payment issues, and buyers stayed away from fresh purchases.

From a sector perspective, the spinning sector is showing signs of greater dynamism. Forecasts for the first quarter of 2026 still indicate caution, although a number of companies expect stability or improvement compared to the previous quarter.
Marco Salvadè, president of ACIMIT, commented: “the environment remains challenging for our manufacturers, but data relating to Italian exports for the first ten months of 2025 also show encouraging signs . In particular, the 46.7% growth recorded in India, now our leading destination market, confirms that Italian technology continues to be highly valued in high-potential countries. Innovation, quality and a strong presence in strategic markets will be the foundations of the sector’s recovery”.
