North India cotton yarn hit by tariff hike, but slight relief in sight

North India’s cotton yarn market is reeling from the 50 per cent US tariffs, forcing spinning mills and stockists to offer steep discounts.
While yarn prices in Ludhiana and Delhi remained steady, Panipat saw a ₹2–3 per kg dip in recycled PC and cotton yarn amid selling pressure.
Market experts said the duty-free cotton import extension may cushion mills by lowering production costs.
