Demand for hosiery clothing increases during the summer season, leading to higher cotton yarn buying. “Cotton yarn buying was slightly higher in comparison of previous months. However, it was not comparable with the buying during the same month of the last few years,” a Tiruppur-based trader told F2F.
Cotton yarn of 30 count combed was traded at ₹280-285 per kg (GST extra), 34 count combed at ₹292-297 per kg and 40 count combed at ₹308-312 per kg in the Tiruppur market.

Cotton arrival decreased from 30,000 bales of 170 kg to 25,000 bales in Gujarat, and all India arrival was estimated below one lakh bales.
