India's Cotton Yarn Pricing: Key Count Categories (2025)

India’s cotton prices stayed stable in H2-2025, with Oct–Dec harvest adding mild pressure but a neutral stock-to-use ratio limiting big moves.

Weaving mills run at 65%–70%, domestic demand is weak, and exports—mainly sub-40s yarn to China and Bangladesh—will drive price swings.

Energy-cost changes and possible tariff/rebate policy shifts may add volatility; 30s carded yarn is expected at $3.85–$4.05/kg with <3% fluctuations.

High-count 60s+ combed yarn remains stronger at $5.2–$5.4/kg, with early-December likely bringing slight price corrections.

Market is set for low volatility, so buyers may opt for batch procurement and long-term supplier agreements heading into 2026.
