Till 2017-18, India's northern cotton-growing region was free of PBW infestation, but in 2018-19 and the following years, pest attacks were reported from Jind and Bathinda above the Economic Threshold Level (ETL).cut coverageDespite the decline in coverage in Punjab, the area under cotton has increased to 16.17 lakh hectares (LH) from 15.44 lakh hectares in the northern region comprising Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan.

In Hisar and Sirsa of Haryana, pink bollworm infestation in flowers and green bolls was observed above ETL level at many places. In other cotton-growing areas, the crop is at the vegetative stage.The SABC through its Project Bandhan has been regularly surveying cotton fields in the north and found that the pink bollworm is more prevalent in green bolls. “It is a matter of great concern that the incidence of pink bollworm has been observed across the Northern Territory this season.

The ongoing rain activities over the northwest and central parts of the country have reduced considerably during the last 10 days. The 7% surplus has now been consumed. Going forward, we expect monsoon rains to turn negative.The effect of El Nino will be seen during August and September. The axis of the Monsoon trough has shifted towards the foothills of the Himalayas, causing obstruction in the Monsoon conditions. We do not expect any significant rain activity over Northwest Central and South Peninsula for at least next week.

Gujarat's textile industry sees low demand, layoffsTextile businesses in Gujarat are facing high costs and low demand as the effects of the recession in Europe and the US. This has caused many businesses in the state to lay off employees or put them on unpaid leave.Naresh Sharma, owner of a Narol-based processing unit, told TNN, "Due to low demand and high cost of raw materials, the units are facing liquidity crunch." “We have been forced to reduce shifts and cut down on labor costs. We are currently operating with 60% of our actual workforce. Some businesses are using labor contractors to find workers and paying them on a pro rata basis as per attendance. As many clothing businesses are either downsizing or replacing at least 30% of their workforce, about a third of employees will find themselves out of work at any given time. This will also affect the purchasing power of a large section of Gujarat's population.ET Bureau reported that inventory storage has become more expensive for apparel businesses. High costs and low demand have led to a pile-up of inventory, further depressing demand. Since Gujarat's textile industry directly and indirectly employs around 70 lakh people, lakhs of people are being affected by the layoffs. Due to the decline in demand for textiles, there has also been a decline in the demand for dyes and chemicals used in the textile manufacturing process.
*India defers cotton quality control order for 3 months*The Government of India has postponed its decision to implement the Cotton Bales (Quality Control) Order, 2023 by three months.A gazette order issued by the Ministry of Textiles late on Tuesday said the order would be implemented from November 27 instead of August 28.The decision to postpone the implementation was taken following a request from textile organizations and trade unions during a meeting with textile ministry officials over the weekend.The order, known as the Cotton QCO (Quality Control Order), was notified by the Union Ministry of Textiles on February 28 and was to come into force 180 days after its publication in the Gazette.
