Indian polyester and polyester-cotton (PC) spun yarn markets have demonstrated notable resilience, posting steady gains driven by firming raw material costs and sustained domestic offtake. While global synthetic fiber indicators experienced minor fluctuations, domestic trading hubs across Bhiwandi, Surat, and Ahmedabad reported firmer mill offers for poly-blend configurations, supported by robust demand from powerloom weavers and regional knitting clusters.

The upward pricing momentum is closely tied to rising feedstock values and stronger cotton floor prices. Following recent upward adjustments by the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) in weekly raw cotton auctions, spinning mills processing blended yarns have adjusted price realizations upward to protect operating margins. Market participants note, 32s and 40s poly-cotton blends have witnessed increased procurement interest from export-oriented garment manufacturers seeking cost-effective alternatives to 100 per cent natural fibers.

Demand across blended categories remains stable as downstream fabric manufacturers lock in forward contracts ahead of the upcoming festive season inventory cycle, states Rameshwar Agarwal, a veteran textile merchant in western India. Although fluctuating crude oil benchmarks introduce cost volatility for upstream polyester staples, balanced inventory levels across major spinning mills have prevented speculative dips, ensuring a stable pricing environment for the domestic weaving sector.
