India's WPI inflation at 2.13% in Feb amid higher textile prices India’s wholesale price inflation, measured by the Wholesale Price Index, rose to 2.13 per cent year-on-year (YoY) in February 2026, up from 1.81 per cent in January, reflecting rising prices of manufactured goods, food articles and textiles, according to the press release by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.The overall WPI index increased to 158.2 in February from 157.8 in January, while month-on-month (MoM) inflation stood at 0.25 per cent. The positive inflation rate was mainly driven by higher prices in other manufacturing, basic metals, non-food articles, food products and textiles.Within the manufacturing segment, which carries the largest weight in WPI, the index rose 0.47 per cent MoM to 148.2 in February. Out of the 22 national industrial classification (NIC) groups, 16 groups recorded price increases, including food products, textiles, electrical equipment and chemicals, while five groups registered price declines.The manufacture of textiles category showed a 0.71 per cent monthly increase, with its index reaching 141.4 in February.

Iran-Israel war's impact on Barwani's cotton trade, fear of export stallingThe impact of the Iran-Israel war is now visible on the cotton trade of Barwani district of Madhya Pradesh. Increasing uncertainty in international sea routes may affect imports and exports, which has increased concerns among local traders.According to Gopal Tayal, a cotton trader from Barwani and president of the Cotton Association, India's cotton trade largely depends on international import-export. India imports long staple cotton from countries like America, Brazil and Australia.Transportation costs will increase due to sea routes being affectedGopal Tayal, local cotton trader of the district and president of the Cotton Association, said that in the current war situation, many countries including America are involved in it in some way or the other, due to which global business activities are being affected. Important sea routes near Iran, especially the Gulf of Hormuz, have become extremely sensitive.If this route is affected, ships will have to take a longer detour through Africa, which will significantly increase transportation costs and make trade expensive.Pressure may increase on cotton and textile industryIndia imports cotton in large quantities from America, while the clothes and readymade garments produced here are exported to many countries in Europe. But due to the war, instability in the markets of Europe has also increased.If exports are disrupted, finished goods may remain stuck within the country, which will increase the pressure of goods in the market and the textile industry may have to suffer huge losses.Transportation is expensive, prices of clothes increase by 30-35%Traders say transportation costs have increased due to disruption in ship movement in the Strait of Hormuz and costly war risk insurance. Due to increase in the prices of raw materials, the prices of finished clothes are also increasing by about 30-35 percent and exports have almost come to a standstill.Traders said that it is necessary to establish peace soon, so that international trade can become normal and the cotton and textile industry can be saved from losses.read more :- The rupee closed 02 paise higher at 92.42 against the dollar.

19.16 lakh quintals of cotton purchased in Parbhani, HingoliParbhani: Season 2025-26 is in its last phase and till Thursday (12th), CCI (Cotton Corporation of India) and private sector purchased 19 lakh 16 thousand 972 quintals of cotton in Parbhani and Hingoli districts. Out of this, CCI purchased 10 lakh 33 thousand 191 quintals, while the private sector purchased 8 lakh 83 thousand 781 quintals of cotton.At 14 centers in these two districts, 88,377 farmers had registered to sell cotton at guaranteed prices at CCI centers through the Cotton Kisan mobile app. At the beginning of the cotton procurement season, the open market price was below the guaranteed price.This caused a break in CCI cotton procurement. Most farmers kept cotton at home, hoping that prices would rise further in the open market. But open market prices fell in February. For this reason the farmers went back to CCI. CCI had extended the deadline for purchasing cotton till Sunday (15th).But due to holidays, many farmers could not sell cotton at CCI centres. Due to cotton prices being lower than the guaranteed price in the open market, farmers have demanded extension of the CCI cotton purchase deadline till March 31.read more :- Rupee Opens 1 Paisa Higher at 92.44

CAI cuts 2025-26 cotton import forecast to 47 lakh bales amid higher global prices and weaker rupeeFirm global cotton prices, a weakening rupee and rising freight costs linked to the West Asia conflict have led the Cotton Association of India (CAI) to trim its cotton import projections for the 2025-26 season (ending September) by about 3 lakh bales to 47 lakh bales.The revised estimate is lower than CAI’s earlier projection of 50 lakh bales.According to CAI President Vinay N. Kotak, the upward movement in international cotton prices and the depreciation of the rupee have made imports more expensive. At the same time, domestic cotton prices have stabilised, making Indian cotton relatively cheaper or on par with the replacement cost of imported fibre. Rising freight rates and longer transit times due to the ongoing West Asia war have also discouraged imports.Despite the downward revision, imports for 2025-26 are still expected to be higher than last year’s 41 lakh bales. By the end of February, around 36 lakh bales had already arrived in the country, as mills and traders rushed shipments to take advantage of the duty-free import window that remained in place until the end of December.Looking ahead, CAI believes India’s cotton exports could gain momentum. Kotak noted that a further depreciation of the rupee and a rise in international cotton prices—possibly linked to higher crude oil prices—could improve the competitiveness of Indian cotton in global markets. India’s geographical proximity also provides an advantage for supplying nearby markets such as Bangladesh and China, which may turn to India to meet their immediate requirements.For now, CAI has retained its cotton export estimate for the 2025-26 season at 15 lakh bales. By the end of February, about 7 lakh bales had been shipped overseas.On the production side, CAI has slightly raised its crop estimate by 3.5 lakh bales to 320.5 lakh bales (of 170 kg each), citing better-than-expected output in states such as Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. Yields have improved particularly in Maharashtra’s Vidarbha region, as well as in Karnataka and Telangana.The association has also revised its consumption estimate upward by 10 lakh bales to 315 lakh bales for the 2025-26 season. Cotton consumption until February 2026 is estimated at 131.25 lakh bales.As a result of these adjustments, CAI now projects closing stocks at the end of the 2025-26 season at 98.09 lakh bales—around 9.5 lakh bales lower than its earlier estimate.read more :- Cotton Status Report (as on 28/02/2026)

West Asia conflict hits Bhilwara textile industry, Rs 1000 crore fabric exports impactedBhilwara (Rajasthan) [India], March 12 (ANI): The ongoing conflict in West Asia has begun to affect the textile industry in Bhilwara, Rajasthan, with export orders being stalled and trade disruptions impacting shipments worth around Rs 800 to Rs 1000 crore, industry representative said.Bhilwara, widely known as a major textile hub in India, houses a large number of textile manufacturing units and employs thousands of workers across the sector.RK Jain, General Secretary of Mewar Chamber of Commerce Industrial Organisation, told ANI that the city's textile sector is facing challenges due to the ongoing conflict in the Gulf region.'Bhilwara is renowned as a textile city. Over 450 fabric units, over 20 spinning units, 21 processing units, and over five denim industries operate here. Approximately 10 crore meters of cloth are produced every month, and more than 2 lakh people are employed directly or indirectly in the textile industry,' Jain told ANI.He said that the industry has started to feel the impact of the conflict, particularly in export markets.'Textile industries are also facing some trouble due to the war, and if the war continues in the near future, exports from here could be affected. Currently, export orders are on hold,' he said.According to Jain, several shipments are either stalled locally or stuck at ports, while some export orders have been temporarily put on hold by overseas buyers due to the uncertain situation.'They are either stalled locally or at the port, or have been put on hold by other parties. If this situation persists for a long time, our exports could be severely affected,' he said.The Gulf region and Europe remain key export destinations for the Bhilwara textile industry.Jain said yarn produced in Bhilwara is exported to Bangladesh and European countries, while a portion is also exported to Gulf countries. Fabric exports, on the other hand, are largely directed towards Gulf countries and European markets.Due to the ongoing conflict and disruption in trade routes, export movement has slowed significantly, impacting business sentiment among textile manufacturers in the region.Industry representatives say that if the geopolitical situation continues for a prolonged period, the textile sector in Bhilwara could face deeper challenges, particularly in maintaining export volumes and sustaining production levels.

Maharashtra: CCI Cotton Procurement: Cotton Procurement to End TomorrowPune: Friday will mark the final day of the CCI's guaranteed-price cotton procurement drive. The CCI had extended the cotton procurement period until March 15. However, due to public holidays, cotton was actually purchased for only six days at most centers during this extended period.Many farmers have been unable to sell their cotton. They are also facing difficulties in booking procurement slots. Consequently, farmers are demanding that the cotton procurement period be extended until March 31. To date, the CCI has procured 10.4 million bales of cotton across the country. This year's procurement volume is 4 percent higher than that of the previous year.Previously, the CCI had set a record in the 2019-20 season by procuring 10.005 million bales. In comparison, 10 million bales were procured during the last season. Once the final figures for this year's procurement are released, it is likely to stand as the highest procurement volume recorded to date.*Highest Procurement in Telangana*Once again this year, Telangana has recorded the highest procurement volume, with 3.17 million bales of cotton purchased. Meanwhile, Maharashtra has procured 2.713 million bales, and Gujarat has procured 2 million bales. Karnataka has procured 700,000 bales; Madhya Pradesh, 555,000 bales; Andhra Pradesh, 400,000 bales; and Rajasthan, 346,000 bales.Similarly, Odisha has procured 270,000 bales; Haryana, 200,000 bales; and Punjab, 47,000 bales of cotton.*CCI Cotton Sales*The CCI began selling its cotton stock as early as January of this year. It has also reduced cotton prices on three separate occasions. So far this season, the CCI has sold 1.735 million bales of cotton. This activity is exerting downward pressure on open market prices.*Procurement Conducted for Only Six Days*The CCI had initially halted cotton procurement on February 27. Subsequently, the procurement period was extended until March 15. However, due to holidays, actual procurement began on March 5. Furthermore, March 7 and 8 were holidays, as they fell on a Saturday and Sunday. Additionally, March 14 and 15 will also be holidays, being a Saturday and Sunday. Therefore, Friday (the 13th) will be the final day for the procurement of cotton at the guaranteed price. During this extended period, actual procurement took place for only six days.read more :- Rupee Opens 15 Paise Lower at 92.34

Despite declining share in the global fiber market, cotton will remain a mainstream fiber.Despite declining share in global fiber consumption, cotton will remain a key and primary fiber in the textile industry. Experts believe that cotton will remain in demand in many applications due to its comfortable, breathable, and natural properties.According to the International Cotton Advisory Council's (ICAC) World Textile Demand Report, cotton's market share in global fiber consumption has fallen below 25 percent in recent years, compared to approximately 40 percent in the early 2000s.According to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), despite record consumer demand for clothing and home textiles, potential growth in cotton product imports has been limited. This is primarily due to increasing competition from man-made fiber (MMF) products, particularly exports of MMF products from China.Prabhu Damodaran, convener of the Indian Texpreneurs Federation (ITF), said that cotton's decline in global fiber share has been gradual and structural. This is due to two primary reasons: the falling cost of synthetic fibers like polyester and the improved performance of alternative fibers like polyester and viscose.According to Ramanuj Das Boob, vice-president of the All India Cotton Brokers Association and a Raichur-based sourcing agent, the problem is not a decline in cotton demand but the rapidly growing demand for competing fibers. He said that the use of blended fabrics containing fibers like polyester, elastane, viscose, and lycra along with cotton is rapidly increasing in the modern textile sector.He said that cotton will remain important in clothing and home textiles, although its growth may be slower than synthetic fibers. Demand for blended yarns is increasing worldwide, and spinners are increasingly producing poly-cotton yarns.Experts believe that increasing per-hectare cotton productivity is crucial for India. Prabhu Damodaran stated that higher productivity would boost farmers' incomes and ensure that cotton prices remain competitive, thereby enabling it to compete effectively with other fibers.Ramanuj Das Boob noted that the demand for Extra Long Staple (ELS), contamination-free, sustainable, and organic cotton is likely to rise in the future, and the premium segment is expected to remain robust.Meanwhile, Anand Popat—a cotton, yarn, and cotton waste trader from Rajkot—observed that cotton prices have surged due to speculative trading in the market, a trend that has adversely impacted the market share of this natural fiber.read more:- Rupee fell 08 paise to close at 92.19 per dollar
