Southern textile mills facing slow down in cotton yarn exports

The southern textile mills after having done well for the last 10 month of the year in cotton yarn exports is facing a slow down in February-March due to drop in demand. However, the demand has not fallen sharply and expected to revive in April or after the elections.

Moreover, the cotton prices are around Rs. 42,000 a candy and textile mills are find the yarn rates unviable.
