Cotton Commodity Insights

Current Market Developments:

  • Cotton prices in most of the spot markets have remained steady due to limited purchases made by spinning mills as they have sufficient stocks for consumption. Arrivals in markets have remained steady.

  • The cotton yarn market in south India, including Mumbai and Tiruppur remains bearish with stable prices despite increasing cotton costs. Traders express inability to raise yarn prices owing to amplified production costs and a steady influx of Chinese garment imports affecting the textile value chain.
  • The new crop arrivals are expected to be delayed as good amount of rainfall is reported from most of the cotton growing states. After 15th October arrivals are likely to hit markets. The Minimum Support Price for cotton during 2023-24 is fixed at Rs 7020 per quintal as against Rs 6380 per quintal.
