Cotton yarn prices in South India continued to edge higher even as overall demand remained subdued.
Industry experts noted that mills have been increasing prices, supported by stronger returns from export markets. However, domestic demand from end-use industries and stockists stayed muted during the final week of the 2025–26 fiscal year.
According to traders, buyers with immediate requirements are paying higher rates due to limited options in the market. Despite the weak demand scenario, mills have been able to push prices up modestly.
Meanwhile, cotton prices in Gujarat remained largely steady, even after the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) announced a price increase.
