Start Your 7 Days Free Trial TodayTwo out of three GST demands met, more relief expected: Cotton Association of India.Atul Ganatra, President of the Cotton Association of India, welcomed the goods and services tax (GST) cut and said it addressed long-standing industry concerns. “It was a long-standing demand pending from the industry, and it has been fulfilled,” he said.He explained that out of the three key demands made by the association, two have already been met. “Import duty to be removed - that has been done. Cotton Corporation of India (CCI), in the last 15 days, has cut 5% rate, almost ₹2,500 per candy. So out of the three demands, two have been fulfilled,” he said.Ganatra added that export incentives for yarn and cloth to the US remain pending. He said, “We feel that within another two weeks of time, we will have further relief from the government. We feel that an incentive will be given, and also CCI may reduce the further rate of cotton.”Dinesh Nolkha, Chairman and MD of Nitin Spinners, said the GST changes will help resolve the inverted duty structure that had created pressure for man-made fibre producers. “With this change, they can pass on the duty immediately, and their working capital flows are improved a bit,” he said, though he added there is no change in industry margins.Both industry leaders agreed that tariffs on exports to the US continue to hurt demand. Ganatra said, “Export to the USA has come down, and we may see coming months also the figures will come down, because I have heard that USA buyers are asking big discount, 30-35% which is not possible for an Indian exporter to give.” read more :- Rupee fell 16 paise to close at 88.26 against dollar

Maharashtra: Thrips disease outbreak on cotton crops increasedFarmers are worried due to the outbreak of various diseases on cotton crops sown in 40 thousand hectares in Bhokardan taluka. Farmers consider cotton as a cash crop. However, every year cotton crops are in danger due to the outbreak of various diseases. This is likely to reduce production, which is affecting the farmers.Cotton plants are dying in large numbers due to the outbreak of thrips disease on cotton crops at the beginning of this season. In such a situation, the question has arisen before the farmers that how to increase the cotton crop. Farmers have spent a lot on expensive seeds as well as cultivation and medicines. Similarly, now, since the outbreak of thrips disease is increasing in cotton plants, the cost of the crop will have to be borne by the farmers. This will cause huge financial losses to the farmers, and farmers fear that the Kharif season will be ruined.After a few days of continuous rain, the infestation of thrips and insect diseases on crops has increased significantly, which is expected to increase cotton production. After heavy rains, the roots are not able to absorb nutrients due to waterlogging in the fields. Due to clouds, it is becoming difficult for them to get sunlight and when the sun suddenly sets, the infestation of fungal diseases is increasing. Due to this disease, the leaves have turned yellow and the leaves have become brittle, and the Kokda disease is more visible during the flowering period.Demand for guidanceDue to the outbreak of various diseases on cotton crops, farmers have to spray expensive medicines to control the diseases. Still, the infestation of the disease seems to be decreasing. Guidance is being sought for farmers from the Department of Agriculture.read more :- Cotton sold for Rs. 3805, 18 vehicles arrived in Muhurat sale

India set for record cotton buying as imports, US tariffs hit pricesNEW DELHI : India is expected to purchase a record volume of cotton from farmers in the upcoming season, as domestic prices face pressure from cheaper imports and weakening demand following hefty U.S. tariffs on textile exports, industry officials told .Cotton consumption in the world’s second-largest producer has slowed, with exporters reporting a sharp decline in orders from the United States, which accounts for nearly 29% of India’s $38 billion in annual textile exports.“Demand has slowed down, and that’s hurting the industry. In this kind of market, farmers are unlikely to get the promised support price for their cotton,” Atul Ganatra, president of the Cotton Association of India, told .The government will have to step in and buy a record amount of cotton – maybe around 14 million bales, Ganatra said.India has raised the price at which it will buy new-season cotton from domestic farmers by 7.8% to 8,110 rupees per 100 kg, but local market prices are hovering around 7,000 rupees.Prices are expected to come under pressure from next month due to rising supplies from the new season’s crop and the arrival of cheaper imported cotton, said Pradeep Jain, a ginner based in Jalgaon in the western state of Maharashtra.Last week, India extended an import duty exemption on cotton by three months, until the end of December.Farmers usually sell their crop to the state-run Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) whenever prices fall below the government-set floor price.In the 2024/25 marketing year, which ends this month, CCI spent a record 374.36 billion rupees to buy 10 million bales from farmers.“There is no limit or target for buying cotton from farmers in the new season. We will buy the entire quantity that farmers bring to CCI,” Lalit Kumar Gupta, managing director of CCI told .The CCI is planning to increase the number of procurement centres by 10% to 550 in the new season and has the capacity to purchase more than 20 million bales, Gupta said.In December quarter, India could import more than 2 million bales, said a New Delhi-based dealer with a global trade house.“Imported cotton is not only cheaper but also better in quality. So, textile mills will be busy using it even when local supply is at its peak, which will push down domestic prices,” the dealer said.read more :- Rupee open Falls 01 Paise to 88.08/USD

Union Minister Shri Giriraj Singh reviews preparations for Cotton MSP operations for Kharif Season 2025-26Criteria for procurement centre operations notified for the first time: Record 550 centres proposed in major cotton producing states. Nationwide self-registration by farmers and slot booking through ‘Kapas-Kisan’ mobile app to commence this seasonUnion Textiles Minister Shri Giriraj Singh chaired a high-level review meeting in New Delhi on 2nd September 2025. The meeting was attended by Smt. Neelam Shami Rao, Secretary, Ministry of Textiles, Smt. Padmini Singla, Joint Secretary (Fibres), Shri Lalit Kumar Gupta, CMD, Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) and other senior officers of the Ministry of Textiles and Cotton Corporation of India. The objective of the meeting was to assess the preparedness for Minimum Support Price (MSP) operations for cotton during the ensuing Kharif marketing season 2025-26 commencing from 1st October 2025.Shri Giriraj Singh reiterated the Government’s commitment to the welfare of cotton farmers and assured that all cotton procurement falling under MSP guidelines will be done without any disruptions and with focus on timely, transparent and farmer-centric service delivery. He expressed his commitment to safeguard the interests of cotton farmers by ensuring remunerative prices for their produce and accelerate the transition to a digitally empowered system.The Union Minister said that in line with the Government’s Digital India vision, all processes from procurement of cotton by Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) to sale of stocks under MSP operations are now completely faceless and paperless thereby strengthening the trust and confidence of farmers and other stakeholders in MSP operations.For the first time, uniform criteria have been laid down for setting up of procurement centres, taking into account key parameters such as area of cotton cultivation, availability of functional APMC yards and availability of at least one stock processing factory at the cotton procurement centre. As a result, a record 550 procurement centres have been set up in major cotton producing states. Procurement of cotton under MSP will commence from October 1 in northern states, October 15 in central states and October 21 in southern states, 2025.From this season, Aadhaar-based self-registration of cotton farmers and 7-day slot booking facility will be made available across the country through the newly launched 'Kapas-Kisan' mobile app. This digital platform aims to streamline procurement operations, ensure transparency and realise Aadhaar-based payments directly into farmers' bank accounts through the National Automated Clearing House (NACH). The SMS-based payment information service introduced last year will also continue.To enhance support at the ground level, Local Monitoring Committees (LMCs) will be constituted by the States in each APMC Mandi for immediate grievance redressal. Additionally, dedicated state-level helplines and a central CCI helpline will remain active throughout the procurement period. Deployment of adequate manpower, logistic support and other infrastructure will be ensured before the start of the cotton season.read more :- Textile relations with China strengthened after Modi visit
After PM Modi's visit, textile industry is now weaving strong ties with ChinaThe Yarn Expo in Shanghai is bringing back confidence in the Indian textile industry.The tariff war launched by US President Trump is likely to hit the Indian textile industry hard. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made it clear that India will not bow down to any pressure. According to experts, US tariffs could badly impact one-fourth of India's textile exports in the next six months, while traders are grappling with order cancellations in their biggest export market. Now the Indian textile industry is moving fast, as Consul General of India in Shanghai Pratik Mathur aptly put it, the thread of prosperity is weaving strong ties with China.Consul General Pratik Mathur on Tuesday visited the Yarn Expo in Shanghai, the largest of its kind in the world. The Yarn Expo in Shanghai is bringing back confidence in the Indian textile industry. This expo is the largest of its kind in the world. This time more than 30 Indian companies are participating across various sectors of the textile value chain, including yarn and fabric manufacturers from Prime Minister Modi's own Lok Sabha constituency Varanasi. India's presence at the Global Expo is highlighting our vibrant textile innovations, such as contamination-free and fully traceable Kasturi cotton.China is a global leader in textile production and trade, known for its vast scale, cost-effectiveness and integrated ecosystem, making it a major exporter of fabrics, yarns and ready-made garments across the world, and is being looked at as a new partner in this industry. India's presence in the knitting, yarn and textile sectors at the textile mega event resonates our visionary 'Make in India' philosophy, empowering global partnerships and making supply chains sustainable. India's textile exports in the region are growing impressively, boosting regional trade and economic synergies. India, inspired by the Prime Minister's call for Aatmanirbhar Bharat, is constantly striving to create opportunities for sustainable growth, with the goal of building a developed India by 2047.India's textiles and apparel (T&A) exports are projected to reach $37.7 billion in 2024-25, contributing 8.63% of total merchandise exports, with the United States and the European Union being the major destinations. The country is the sixth largest T&A exporter in the world, with a global trade share of around 4.1-4.5%. Major export categories include cotton textiles, ready-made garments and man-made textiles, while recent growth has been significantly driven by the apparel sector.
Amid Trump's tariffs, Centre to hike MSP cotton procurement to protect farmersThe Centre will hike cotton procurement at the federally determined minimum support price or MSP to protect farmers from falling local prices, following the government's decision to waive duty on fibre imports and shore up the garment sector facing Trump's 50% tariff.Farmers are already grappling with price pressures as textile manufacturers prefer to import cheaper short-staple fibres due to high domestic rates. The textile industry, one of the country's largest employers, had itself been pleading with the central government for duty relief due to falling margins and the impact of the pandemic.To support the labour-intensive garment industry on the one hand and cotton growers on the other, the Centre has directed state-run Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) to be ready for large procurement and buy as much quantity of produce as producers bring to its procurement centres, an official said. Whenever market prices fall, farmers depend on CCI for minimum prices.On August 28, India extended the 11% import duty exemption on cotton imports, including agricultural cess, till the end of December. The tax exemption was initially applicable between August 19 and September 31.By temporarily halting taxes, the government aims to stabilise inflation in products such as ready-made garments, ease raw material crisis and protect small and medium enterprises, an official said in a statement on August 19."We are ready to buy as much as farmers want and CCI is there to help cotton growers," said CCI Managing Director Lalit Kumar Gupta.For the 2025-26 season, the Centre has fixed the MSP for the popular medium-staple cotton at ₹7,710 per quintal (100 kg), up by ₹589 over the previous year. Importers say the cost of fibre imported from abroad is between ₹5000-6200 per 100 kg.Global garment buyers have cut new imports from India following Trump's hefty tariffs and analysts say companies may turn to Bangladesh or China, where tariffs are lower. CCI is expanding its buying power centres to over 500.read more:- Removing cotton import duty to bridge quality and supply gap
Proposal to remove cotton import dutyNew Delhi : India’s decision to eliminate import duty on raw cotton was driven by urgent supply, quality, and competitiveness concerns in the textile value chain.It is a strategic move initiated to address raw material shortages, reduce input costs for textile mills, curb inflationary pressures, and uphold India’s competitive edge in global textile trade.Textile and apparel exports account for a significant share of India’s foreign earnings. Duty-free access to premium cotton allows domestic producers to offer high-quality yarns and fabrics at globally competitive price points, reinforcing the “Make in India” brand and helping retain market share in key destinations such as Europe and North America.In terms of global trade, India is the sixth largest exporter of textiles, with a 3.91 per cent share in world textile exports. According to the Textile Ministry, the sector provides direct employment to over 45 million people, making it the second largest employment generator in the country, next only to agriculture.However, the country’s cotton production fell from about 35 million bales in 2020-21 to some 31 million bales in 2024-25 due to adverse weather conditions and pest attacks.The Department of Agriculture said in a recent statement that as of August 15, total cultivation area for cotton has reduced, with acreage falling by 3.24 lakh hectares in (2025-26) compared to the previous year (2024-25).The government’s duty waiver stems from concerns about cotton shortages. Industry groups had warned about higher yarn prices, leading to an increase in textile prices ahead of the festival season.Duty-free access to premium cotton allows domestic producers to offer high-quality yarns and fabrics at globally competitive price points.India’s 2024-25 cotton crop was dominated by medium-staple varieties, while many spinning mills require long and extra-long staple fibres to meet higher-end yarn specifications.Various spinning mills usually stockpile lower-grade domestic cotton to blend with imports, tying up substantial working capital. Industry estimates suggest that duty relief can cut raw-material financing needs by 15-20 per cent, immediately improving cash flows, especially for small and medium-sized spinning units grappling with post-pandemic demand volatility.Thus, allowing duty-free imports plugs this quality and quantity shortfall immediately, ensuring uninterrupted production for value-added textile units.Removal of import duty would ease the pressure on domestic textile mills by stabilising raw material costs ahead of the festive season when garments are in high demand.Concerns over farmers being affected are addressed through the minimum support price (MSP) mechanism. For the marketing season 2025-26, growers get Rs. 7,710 per quintal for medium staple variety, while for long staple, it is Rs. 8,110 per quintal.The Cotton Corporation of India continues to procure unsold crops at MSP levels, with any losses on stock clearances financed via the federal budget, ensuring farmers are insulated from market fluctuations.Meanwhile, the calibrated relief measure can defuse trade tensions with Washington, which is pushing for broader market access in bilateral trade.It may signal India’s willingness to use targeted tariff relief as a bargaining chip in broader agricultural and industrial talks.read more :- Rupee opens steady at 88.16 /USD

Government Serious About Textile Sector Challenges – Interview with Giriraj SinghUnion Textile Minister Giriraj Singh, in an exclusive conversation with CNBC Awaaz, discussed in detail the condition and prospects of the Indian textile industry. He said that the government still has to meet companies with turnover below ₹100 crore in order to understand their issues and challenges.The minister acknowledged that additional tariffs have given a slight setback to the textile sector, but he expressed confidence that India has always been a country that turns crises into opportunities.Giriraj Singh explained that globally, the textile market is worth $800 billion, of which 40 countries account for nearly $590 billion. He added that India’s total textile market is $180 billion, out of which only $40 billion is exported, with 34% of it going to the U.S.He further said that despite challenges, the supply of textile products from India to the U.S. continues.The minister expressed hope that the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) could be implemented soon, which would provide more relief to exporters. He assured that the government is committed to resolving the industry’s difficulties and that corrective steps are being taken at all levels.read more :- Free import policy puts Maharashtra's cotton owners in trouble
Centre’s free imports to subdue cotton prices leave Maharashtra gin owners in dire straitsThe decision of the Central Government to extend duty-free imports of cotton till December 31 has pushed the businesses of gin press owners in Maharashtra into uncertainty.With India expected to see all-time high imports of 42 lakh bales of cotton (1 bale has 170 kg of ginned cotton), traders said the government has to step in to prevent the collapse of mandi prices of ‘kapas’ or raw unginned cotton with seeds, once the season starts.Last month, the Central Government decided to remove the 11 per cent import duty on cotton to support the domestic garment sector.Farm leader Vijay Jawandhiya had called the move suicidal, as it would leave the cotton farmers in dire straits. “The government had promised not to let farmers be affected. We want the government to remember its words,” he said.At present, while Indian candy is being traded at Rs 55,000-56,000, imported candies are available at Rs 51,000-52,000. Since the Central Government had waived off the import duty, Indian candy prices have come down by Rs 1,000/quintal.Pradeep Jain, founder director of the Khandesh Cotton Gin Press Factory Owners Traders Welfare Association, said the bigger question before the entire value chain would be the price realisation of farmers. Jain said most of the Gin Press owners and traders would be facing losses due to the availability of cheap imports. “But unless the Central Government, through the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI), steps in early, farmers would face severe loss,” he said.For this season, the Minimum Support Price (MSP) of cotton is Rs 7,710 per quintal, which has to be taken into account while finalising the price of a candy, which is approximately 356 kg of cotton. This invariably makes the candy trade at a higher price than imports, as the concept of MSP is not there in other cotton-growing countries, mainly the USA.Indian ginners, involved in the mechanical separation of cotton fibres from seeds, said the bales and candy (340 kg of pressed de-seeded cotton) are sold at higher prices in the international markets because ‘kapas’ is purchased at the government-declared Minimum Support Price (MSP).Initially, the exemption was till September, and later extended till December. This move has been welcomed by the textile industry, which felt the availability of cheap raw material would help them tide over the first few months of the cotton marketing season that begins during September-October.Atul Ganatara, president of the Cotton Association of India (CAI), the body representing the cotton value chain, said India would see an all-time high import of 42 lakh bales thanks to this move.At Khandesh, the Muhurt trade of cotton fetched a price of Rs 7,600 per quintal, which is lower than the MSP. These traders said it was a warning sign, as once the arrivals start, it would dip further. The condition of the cotton crop in most parts of the country is said to be good without any major reports of losses or pest infestation. Indian farmers had taken cotton over 108.47 lakh hectares, over the 111.39 lakh hectares of last season. Most farmers are worried about price realisation given the easy availability of cotton from overseas.
