India man-made yarn market shows mixed trend

India’s man-made yarn market recorded mixed trends as polyester-cotton (PC) yarn prices increased in Ludhiana due to limited supply and labor shortages in northern India.

Market sources said spinning mills are prioritizing cotton yarn production for export orders, slowing output of other yarn categories and supporting PC yarn prices.

Meanwhile, polyester yarn prices in Surat remained stable amid weak seasonal demand, while viscose yarn markets in Surat and Mumbai continued to face pressure due to sluggish downstream demand and higher import costs.

Traders said the summer season and cautious buying activity are keeping overall market sentiment subdued despite supply constraints in some segments.
