Neelkanth Sharma, a Ludhiana-based industry told Fibre2Fashion that mill owners are not comfortable at current prices of yarn, but they were unable to increase the prices due to muted demand. Spinning millers were focusing on shipments for export commitments as they have to fulfil the orders before the Chinese New Year holidays from January 31 to February 6, 2022. According to sources, spinning mills have export orders mostly from China and Bangladesh.

Traders expect muted demand this week due to possible GST hike from January 1, 2022. According to them, only few fabric manufacturers had seen it as an opportunity for expected price rise in New Year, and most downstream manufacturers were cautious expecting a possible disruption in the trade. Mostly buyers were also cautious and prefer to wait-and-watch.
