MEG Prices Ease as Textile Demand Remains Subdued

Global mono ethylene glycol (MEG) prices declined during the latest week, ending a four-week upward trend. Weak demand from the polyester and textile industries, along with better cargo availability, put pressure on prices.The decline came despite renewed uncertainty in crude oil markets and ongoing geopolitical concerns. MEG is an important raw material for polyester production, making textile demand a key factor in market movement.MEG Prices Decline Across Key MarketsMEG prices in India and Southeast Asia eased during the week. China recorded a smaller decline and continued to show stronger monthly gains than other major markets.In Europe, MEG prices also moved lower. The European market did not fully participate in the earlier Asian price rally.Regional price spreads have also changed. China now trades at a higher premium over India, while the premium for Northwest European MEG over India has narrowed.Weak Textile Demand Weighs on MEG MarketThe recent price decline reflects subdued demand across the polyester and textile value chain. Buyers remain cautious, while improved availability of cargoes has added further pressure to the market.Market participants are closely watching crude oil prices, geopolitical developments and polyester demand. These factors could influence the direction of MEG prices in the coming weeks.For textile manufacturers and polyester producers, changes in MEG prices remain important because they can affect production costs and downstream pricing.Key takeaway: MEG prices have lost momentum after four weeks of gains, with weak textile demand and improved supply weighing on the market.

Trump Tariff War Delivers Limited Results in Cutting US Trade Deficit

Trump Tariff War Delivers Limited Results in Cutting US Trade Deficit

The US tariff war launched by President Donald Trump in April 2025 has delivered limited results in reducing the country’s overall trade deficit, according to an analysis by economists Jayati Ghosh and C.P. Chandrasekhar.The tariff strategy began with a 10% baseline duty on most US imports, followed by additional country-specific tariffs. The measures were aimed at reducing trade deficits and encouraging trading partners to make concessions on trade and investment.US goods trade deficits with several major trading partners declined after the tariffs were introduced. However, the overall improvement has been less significant than initial figures suggest. A sharp rise in imports during the first quarter of 2025, ahead of the tariff increases, affected comparisons.Taiwan and Vietnam recorded notable increases in their trade surpluses with the US between the first quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2026. Machinery, mechanical appliances, electrical equipment and semiconductor-related products were major contributors.Vietnam has emerged as a significant export platform for foreign companies. US imports from Vietnam increased from $41.9 billion in the first quarter of 2025 to $66.5 billion in the second quarter of 2026. Traditional exports such as garments, footwear and furniture accounted for only a small share of this increase.The analysis points to two major challenges for the US tariff strategy. The first is continued dependence on global semiconductor supply chains, particularly amid strong investment in artificial intelligence and data centres. The second is the continued role of offshore production in supplying US markets.The findings suggest that tariffs have changed trade patterns across countries, but have not significantly reduced the structural factors behind the US trade deficit.

US-India Trade Deal May Shield India From 100% Tariff

A potential US-India trade deal could help protect India from a tariff of up to 100% under the new US legislation targeting major buyers of Russian oil and gas.US President Donald Trump has signed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026. The legislation authorises the US President to impose tariffs of up to 100% on countries that continue to purchase Russian oil and gas. India is among the major buyers covered by the measure.According to sources familiar with the ongoing trade negotiations, a bilateral trade agreement could limit the impact of such tariffs. The legislation gives the US President authority to impose the tariff, but does not automatically enforce it.The sources also said a trade agreement could provide protection from possible action under the ongoing US Section 301 investigation into excess capacity.Trade Deal Remains ImportantIndia and the US have been negotiating a trade agreement for several months. New Delhi has indicated that it wants better market access than competing economies such as Vietnam, Bangladesh and Indonesia before finalising the deal.Sources said the US could adjust tariff arrangements through negotiations. They pointed to an earlier Section 301 forced-labour case, where India ultimately received a lower tariff rate than several competing countries.India has also maintained that it will continue buying Russian oil because of its energy security needs. The country is among the largest buyers of Russian crude.With the new sanctions legislation and other pending US trade actions, the timing of a US-India trade agreement has gained greater importance for Indian exporters and businesses.

India-EU FTA: MSMEs Must Prepare for EU Compliance Rules

Indian micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) will need to prepare for European Union (EU) environmental, certification and other non-tariff requirements to fully benefit from the proposed India-EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA).The agreement is expected to become operational in the January-March quarter of 2027, subject to the completion of required approval processes.EU Compliance Key for MSME Export GrowthGovernment officials said lower tariffs alone may not lead to higher exports unless Indian businesses can meet EU requirements. These include environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), product certification, child labour rules and deforestation regulations.Sanjeev Chawla, additional development commissioner at the MSME Development and Facilitation Office, Karnal, said Indian exporters need to understand these rules before the FTA becomes operational.Industry associations and export promotion councils are expected to play an important role in helping smaller businesses understand and meet complex EU regulations.India Sees Opportunities in European MarketsExperts said the India-EU FTA could create new opportunities for Indian exporters, particularly in apparel and leather. The EU imports around €80 billion of garments and apparel annually, while India currently accounts for about 6 per cent of those imports.The agreement could also support India’s leather exports and help address some of the competitive challenges faced by Indian exporters after the phase-out of the EU’s Generalised System of Preferences for India.The agreement covers around 144 services sectors and sub-sectors, creating additional opportunities for Indian service providers.Export Promotion Mission to Support MSMEsThe government is also preparing MSMEs through the Export Promotion Mission, which includes 11 schemes covering MSMEs, first-time exporters and labour-intensive sectors.Support is available in areas such as export credit, overseas warehousing, logistics, branding and capacity building.Industry experts stressed that effective implementation will be important for MSMEs to convert FTA tariff benefits into actual export orders. Businesses will also need to keep adapting as EU sustainability, supply-chain transparency and due-diligence rules continue to evolve.

Tiruppur Exporters Face Fresh US Tariff Threat, Seek New Markets

Tiruppur, India’s major knitwear and garment hub, is once again facing uncertainty over potential US tariffs. The city accounts for a significant share of India’s knitwear exports, while the US remains an important market for local exporters.The latest tariff concerns follow the US law signed on September 18, 2026, which allows tariffs of up to 100% on countries importing Russian oil and gas. However, the law does not automatically impose a 100% tariff on Indian exports. The exact rate, targets and implementation remain undecided.The uncertainty has made Tiruppur exporters more cautious. During the tariff shocks of 2025, several units faced cancelled orders, production cuts and workforce reductions. Migrant contract workers were among those affected as factories struggled with lower orders.Exporters are now preparing for possible disruptions by expanding into markets such as the UK and Europe. They are also exploring a wider product mix, including man-made fibre (MMF) garments alongside traditional cotton-based products.Tiruppur Exporters’ Association executive secretary Dinesh Babu Ravikrishnan said the industry has increasingly accepted geopolitical uncertainty and tariffs as part of the new business environment.Some manufacturers are also bringing orders forward and increasing automation to improve productivity and control costs. Reports indicate that apparel exporters are accelerating production of Spring 2027 orders to reduce exposure to future trade disruptions.Despite the renewed US tariff threat, migrant workers continue to arrive in Tiruppur. The city’s garment industry employs around one million workers, including a large migrant workforce. The situation highlights how global trade decisions can affect local factories, exporters and workers. For Tiruppur, diversification, cost efficiency and access to new markets are becoming increasingly important as exporters navigate an uncertain global trade environment.

Surat Textile Market Fire Causes ₹24 Crore Damage Over ₹10,000 Dispute

A former employee of a textile unit in Surat has been arrested for allegedly setting fire to cloth bales outside his former employer’s shop following a dispute over ₹10,000 in unpaid dues.Police said Vinod Pandit Savle, 33, was allegedly captured on CCTV setting fire to bales and parcels of cloth outside Shop No. 639 at Shyam Sangini Textile Market on the intervening night of September 8 and 9.The fire continued for nearly 14 hours and gutted the sixth floor of the textile market. It also damaged the fifth floor, where large quantities of fabric and packing material helped the flames spread rapidly.According to police, Savle had worked as an accountant at the shop for around three months after joining in April 2026. He left the job in June.Police said Savle allegedly believed that his former employer still owed him ₹10,000 despite repeated reminders over the phone. The blaze reportedly destroyed 14 shops and caused an estimated ₹24 crore in property and material damage. The incident was initially suspected to be accidental. CCTV footage later became part of the police investigation, leading to Savle’s arrest.

Xi Calls for China-U.S. Partnership Ahead of Trump Talks

Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for stronger cooperation between China and the United States, saying the two countries should be “partners rather than rivals.” He made the remarks after arriving in Washington on September 23 for a state visit at the invitation of U.S. President Donald Trump. In written remarks released by China’s state news agency Xinhua, Mr. Xi said the Chinese and American peoples have a long history of friendly exchanges and that their interests are closely connected. He also said he looked forward to detailed discussions with Mr. Trump on bilateral relations and major global issues. The meeting is expected to cover several sensitive areas, including trade, technology and artificial intelligence, Taiwan and broader geopolitical issues. Reuters reported that the leaders’ discussions come amid continuing tensions between the two countries, despite efforts to maintain dialogue and manage their economic relationship. Xi said China and the U.S. should work toward a stable relationship based on cooperation, managed competition and controlled differences. He also said China’s national development goals and Trump’s “Make America Great Again” agenda could progress alongside each other. The visit is Xi’s first trip to the United States in three years and comes as Washington and Beijing seek to manage their complex economic and strategic relationship.

SIMA Seeks Permanent Removal of 11% Cotton Import Duty

The Southern India Mills’ Association (SIMA) has called for the permanent removal of the 11% import duty on cotton, saying the move would help reduce volatility in cotton prices and support the textile value chain.SIMA Chairman Durai Palaniswamy said stable raw material prices are essential for maintaining a level playing field across the textile industry. He also urged the government to address speculation in cotton prices and review the import parity pricing approach followed by the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) and cotton trade.Palaniswamy suggested that the role of CCI could be strengthened along the lines of China’s national cotton reserve system, which maintains substantial stocks to support price stability.He said India’s textile industry is entering a new phase driven by technology adoption, sustainability, innovation, diversification and value addition. Future growth, he added, will depend not only on expanding production capacity but also on improving efficiency and developing higher-value textile products. The comments came after SIMA’s annual meeting, where Durai Palaniswamy was re-elected chairman for 2026-27. Other office-bearers, including S. Krishnakumar and K. Sivaraj, were also re-elected to their respective positions.

Quality Control Orders Key to India’s Manufacturing Growth

India’s manufacturing sector needs stronger quality standards that improve product quality while supporting scale, efficiency and global competitiveness. A recent analysis has highlighted the need to move forward with the reassessment of India’s Quality Control Orders (QCOs).Quality Control Orders are intended to ensure that products meet prescribed standards. However, concerns have emerged over whether some requirements could increase compliance costs or create challenges for manufacturers and exporters.The issue also came up during the World Trade Organization’s eighth Trade Policy Review of India, held in July 2026. According to the analysis, concerns over QCOs and other non-tariff barriers were raised by several trading partners, including the European Union, the United States, Brazil, China and Indonesia.The reassessment of QCOs is therefore important as India seeks to expand manufacturing, integrate more closely with global value chains and strengthen its position in international markets. The effectiveness of quality standards, the analysis noted, should be assessed by whether they improve quality without limiting the scale, efficiency and competitiveness of Indian manufacturing.

CITI Raises Concern Over Potential Additional U.S. Tariffs on Indian Textiles

The Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI) has raised concerns over the potential impact of additional U.S. tariffs on India’s textile and apparel exports.CITI Chairman Ashwin Chandran said the U.S. is the single-largest market for India’s textile and apparel sector. He noted that any additional tariffs under the recently signed U.S. sanctions legislation could be difficult for India’s largely MSME-driven textile industry to absorb.According to CITI, Indian textile exporters are already facing pressure from several challenges, including continuing instability in West Asia. Higher tariffs could further affect their competitiveness in the U.S. market.Chandran urged the Indian government to engage closely with the U.S. to ensure Indian exporters are not placed at a disadvantage. He also called for a fair and predictable bilateral trade framework that can support long-term textile and apparel trade between the two countries. CITI said India’s free trade agreements with other markets could create new export opportunities. However, these agreements are unlikely to immediately replace the importance of the U.S. market for Indian textile and apparel exporters, as the benefits of new FTAs may take time to materialise.

India Examines US Tariff Law Over Russian Oil Purchases

India is examining a new US law that gives President Donald Trump authority to impose tariffs of up to 100% on countries buying Russian oil and gas, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on September 21.Goyal said the government is studying the details of the legislation before deciding on its response. The law does not automatically impose a 100% tariff on India. It gives the US President authority to decide which countries could face additional tariffs and at what level.The legislation, signed on September 18, is expected to take effect within 30 days. During this period, the US Trade Representative will identify potential target countries and recommend tariff rates. Countries could generally receive time to reduce purchases of Russian energy or negotiate with Washington.India remains a major buyer of Russian crude and has repeatedly said that its energy sourcing decisions are guided by energy security and market conditions. The new US law adds uncertainty for Indian exporters as New Delhi and Washington continue discussions on bilateral trade.The legislation also includes provisions for possible waivers under specified conditions, including where a waiver is considered to be in the US national interest. India is now assessing the potential trade and energy implications of the new measures.

Surat Textile Industry Hit by Rising Polyester Costs

Surat’s man-made textile industry is facing higher polyester costs, weak demand and rising operating expenses ahead of the festive season. The latest increase is putting pressure on manufacturers and downstream MSMEs across the textile value chain.According to the Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SGCCI), polyester yarn costs have increased by around ₹20 per kg, including increases at the MELT and POY stages. Industry representatives say manufacturers are finding it difficult to pass the higher costs on to buyers while demand remains subdued.Surat’s textile sector is a major manufacturing hub for man-made fabrics and yarn. SGCCI describes the city as one of India’s leading man-made textile centres, with more than 6 lakh looms and significant employment across the sector.The cost pressure comes after recent disruptions linked to the Hormuz crisis and floods, which have already affected production and inventories. The industry reportedly suffered losses of more than ₹200 crore during floods in July, adding to the financial pressure on textile businesses.Industry bodies have called for measures to improve polyester raw-material availability and pricing. They have also sought temporary exemption from Basic Customs Duty on MEG and PTA to support downstream manufacturers.With festive orders yet to gain momentum, textile manufacturers in Surat are closely watching polyester prices and buyer demand. The coming weeks could be important for the sector as businesses prepare for the festive selling season.

India Faces 100% Tariff Risk Under New US Russia Sanctions Law

India could face higher US tariffs after President Donald Trump signed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026. The law gives the US administration authority to impose tariffs of up to 100% on major buyers of Russian oil and gas, potentially including India.

The textile and apparel industry has expressed concern that additional tariffs could increase pressure on MSME exporters and affect their competitiveness in the US. Under the legislation, the US Trade Representative will identify countries and recommend tariff rates. The law also provides a national-interest waiver, which could give Washington flexibility in applying the measures. India has reiterated its commitment to energy security and said it will continue sourcing energy based on market conditions and diversified supplies.

Telangana Textile Clusters to Benefit from Recycling Roadmap

Telangana’s major textile clusters could benefit from India’s new textile recycling roadmap, which promotes multiple technologies to convert textile waste into new fibre. Key hubs include Warangal, Sircilla, Gundla Pochampally, Jadcherla and Mahabubnagar, along with textile units around Hyderabad and Karimnagar.According to the Union Ministry of Textiles’ study “Mapping of Textile Waste Value Chain in India,” India generates around 7,073 kilotonnes of textile waste annually. About 58% is post-consumer waste, while 42% comes from factories.The roadmap highlights the need for better collection, sorting and recycling infrastructure. Mechanical recycling can support large volumes of cotton waste, while chemical recycling could help process polyester-rich materials and produce higher-quality recycled fibres. India’s textile recycling market is projected to reach ₹35,000 crore by 2030, with the potential to create around one lakh green jobs. Telangana could use its existing textile manufacturing base to develop circular textile parks and strengthen waste-to-fibre production.

US Tariffs on Russian Oil Buyers Raise Global Trade Concerns

The United States has enacted the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, giving President Donald Trump expanded powers to impose sanctions and tariffs on countries that continue significant purchases of Russian oil and gas. The law allows tariffs of up to 100 per cent under specified conditions.The measure is intended to increase economic pressure on Russia and discourage countries from supporting its energy revenues. However, its impact on the Ukraine conflict and the global economy remains uncertain.India is among the major buyers of Russian crude and could face additional trade pressure under the new framework. The legislation does not automatically impose a 100 per cent tariff on Indian goods; it provides the US administration with the authority to introduce such measures under specified circumstances.The policy could also affect global energy markets. A sharp reduction in Russian energy exports could influence oil prices and increase economic uncertainty for major importing countries.The Business Standard editorial argues that tariffs alone are unlikely to determine the outcome of the Ukraine conflict. It also highlights the wider implications for India-US trade relations, energy security and global oil markets.

Tamil Nadu Women’s Commission Seeks Stronger ICCs in Tiruppur Textile Units

The Tamil Nadu State Commission for Women has called for stronger workplace safeguards for women workers in Tiruppur textile industries.The Commission recommended regular awareness programmes on grievance redressal through Internal Complaints Committees (ICCs). These committees are required under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013, also known as the POSH Act.Limited awareness among workersThe Commission found limited awareness about ICCs during a recent inspection of textile units in Tiruppur district. It also noted that some establishments had not clearly displayed details of ICC members.Commission Chairperson A.S. Kumari said that forming an ICC alone is not enough. The committee must also function effectively and meet statutory requirements.Concerns over adolescent workersThe Commission also found workers aged 15 to 17 in some establishments. Management representatives said their employment was permitted under applicable child and adolescent labour laws. They also provided age verification and medical fitness records.However, the Commission raised concerns about adolescents working in industrial settings. Such workplaces may involve machinery, dust, heat and other occupational risks.The Commission suggested measures to gradually reduce and eventually eliminate adolescent labour in factories and mills.Focus on labour welfareThe Commission also asked the Tiruppur district administration to ensure payment of wages for weekly rest days as required under applicable labour provisions.The inspection covered seven textile and garment manufacturing units. It examined workplace safety, minimum wages, labour rights, forced labour indicators and sexual harassment prevention.The team also reviewed migrant worker welfare and the working conditions of women workers.The Commission said most workers, especially women migrant workers, were from Odisha. It found no evidence of forced or bonded labour.Wages were paid through bank transfers, with Provident Fund listed as the permissible deduction. The report said an average wage of around ₹500 per day was prevalent for an eight-hour shift. The Commission has asked the district administration to submit an Action Taken Report within nine weeks.

Indian Textile Exporters Halt US Orders After 50% Tariff

Indian Textile Exporters Halt US Orders After 50% Tariff IncreaseIndian textile and apparel exporters have put some US orders on hold. The move follows a rise in the US tariff on Indian goods to 50%.Exporters from Tiruppur, Noida and Surat have raised concerns about the impact. They say the higher tariff has increased uncertainty and reduced India's competitiveness in the US market.Higher Tariff Raises Export ConcernsThe new tariff has placed Indian exporters at a disadvantage against several competing countries.According to industry representatives, Bangladesh faces a 20% tariff. Indonesia and Cambodia face tariffs of 19%. Vietnam faces a 20% tariff.A. Sakthivel, chairman of the Tiruppur Exporters Association, said exporters have decided to stop manufacturing some US orders. He said the impact could continue for 30–40 days while India works towards a bilateral trade agreement with the US.Sanjay Jain, past president of the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI), said new orders may not come in the short term. He also said existing orders could be shipped at a loss.US Is a Key Export MarketThe US is India's largest market for textile and apparel exports. China is currently the largest textile and apparel supplier to the US, followed by Vietnam, India and Bangladesh.CITI chairman Rakesh Mehra said the higher US tariff is a major setback for Indian textile and apparel exporters. He said the move could further weaken India's ability to compete for US market share.Exports Show Signs of PressureIndia's textile and apparel exports to the US declined for the third consecutive month in June, according to CITI data. The data cited figures from the US Office of Textiles and Apparel, part of the International Trade Administration.India recorded 3.3% year-on-year growth in June. However, this was lower than the 15–25% growth recorded during the first three months of 2025.CITI said exports began to decline after the US tariff announcement in April.Meanwhile, Vietnam and Bangladesh recorded stronger export growth in June. Their textile and apparel exports to the US rose 26.2% and 44.6% year on year, respectively.The tariff increase has therefore created fresh challenges for Indian textile exporters. Industry players are now watching developments in India-US trade talks and the possible impact on future orders.

US 100% Tariff Risk Raises Concern for Indian Exporters

US Russia Sanctions Bill Raises Tariff Concerns for Indian ExportersIndian exporters face fresh uncertainty over access to the US market after the US House passed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026.The bill gives US President Donald Trump authority to impose tariffs of up to 100% on countries that continue to buy Russian oil and gas. India could be affected because it remains a major buyer of Russian crude.Exporters Concerned About Tariff RiskThe Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) has raised concerns about the possible impact on trade.FIEO director general and CEO Ajay Sahai said exporters are concerned about the uncertainty created by the bill. He said the tariff power could also be used during trade negotiations.The bill does not impose a 100% tariff automatically. It gives the US President the power to impose tariffs of up to 100%. The timing and scope would depend on further US administration action.Impact on India-US TradeThe development comes as India and the US continue discussions on a proposed bilateral trade agreement.Indian exporters are seeking greater clarity on future market access and tariff conditions. The new US legislation adds another factor to those ongoing trade discussions.The US House passed the bill after the Senate had earlier approved it with bipartisan support. The legislation now awaits further action before it can take effect.For Indian exporters, the key concern is the potential tariff risk and the uncertainty it could create for shipments to the US.

UPI MDR Charge Raises Concerns Among Retailers and MSMEs

The Retailers Association of India (RAI) and the Clothing Manufacturers Association of India (CMAI) have raised concerns over the reintroduction of a 0.4% Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) on UPI transactions.The charge applies to UPI person-to-merchant transactions above ₹2,000. It is capped at ₹300 for transactions of ₹75,000 and above.Retailers Raise ConcernsRAI said the new charge could increase costs for small retailers. The association also warned that it could affect digital payment adoption during the festive season.RAI has called for a graded MDR structure. It wants debit-linked and credit-linked UPI transactions to be treated separately.The association also said merchant charges should be linked with incentives. It plans to raise the issue with the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) and the Ministry of Finance.CMAI Flags Impact on MarginsSantosh Katariya, President, CMAI, said the decision comes at the start of the festival season.He said retailers and consumer-facing businesses are already working to improve demand and margins. According to Katariya, an additional cost on digital payments could put more pressure on businesses.RAI Seeks Support for UPIKumar Rajagopalan, CEO, RAI, said the charge may encourage some small merchants to prefer cash payments.RAI said many festive-season purchases cross the ₹2,000 mark. It argued that adding a fee to such payments could make cash more attractive.Rajagopalan also said normal bank-to-bank UPI payments should not be treated like credit transactions. He said credit-linked UPI payments could have a different cost structure.RAI has called for government support for normal UPI transactions. The association said digital payments support formal and traceable business transactions.The concerns come as retailers prepare for the festive season and higher consumer activity.

US Tariff Threat Pushes India to Diversify Markets and Cut Costs

A fresh US tariff threat is pushing Indian companies to explore new markets and reduce costs. The US has threatened tariffs of up to 100% on India over its purchases of Russian oil.R Mukundan, CII President and MD & CEO of Tata Chemicals, said companies are focusing on market and product diversification. He also said India’s cost gap with other markets has narrowed.India Expands Market FocusMukundan said Indian companies can make better use of existing free-trade agreements (FTAs). Many companies use only 30–40% of available tariff lines under these agreements.India is also pursuing trade talks with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Israel and Peru. It is deepening trade engagement with Mexico and Chile.Mukundan said signing trade agreements is only the first step. Industry must turn these agreements into new business opportunities.Battery Supply Chain Needs PartnershipsMukundan also highlighted the need for global partnerships in battery manufacturing. Tata Group companies are working together on the Agratas battery project.He said battery solutions must remain competitive in both cost and technology. India will also need partnerships with countries such as Australia, Chile and Argentina for upstream resources.Mukundan said global technology partnerships will also support the growth of India’s battery manufacturing sector.BRICS Needs More Business OutcomesMukundan said BRICS+ needs to move from intent to business outcomes. This includes higher trade, cross-border investment, technology access and people-to-people links.He also pointed to non-tariff barriers. These include differences in quality standards, testing and documentation.India Focuses on Cost and SpeedIndia’s cost disadvantage has narrowed from about 12% to around 8%, according to Mukundan. Improvements in infrastructure, power and logistics have helped reduce the gap.He said India now needs to focus on the “speed of doing business”. Faster project execution can help companies manage higher costs in global markets.Mukundan also highlighted rail freight and multimodal transport as ways to reduce logistics costs and emissions.He said reducing project execution time could also lower interest and other business costs. Industry is seeking process-level benchmarks to reduce delays and improve execution speed.

India-China Trade Talks Begin on Trade Deficit and Supply Chain Concerns

India and China have begun discussions to address key bilateral trade concerns, including the widening trade imbalance, supply chain issues and ways to build greater confidence in economic relations. More meetings are expected as both sides continue discussions.Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal said the recent meeting between Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao was an initial step aimed at understanding each country's position on trade-related issues. The meeting took place on September 12 on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit.Agrawal said further discussions are expected, with both sides likely to put forward their concerns and positions on issues affecting bilateral trade. He described the engagement as a work in progress and said the two countries are engaging positively.Trade imbalance remains a key issueThe widening trade deficit is one of India's major concerns in its economic relationship with China.According to trade data, bilateral trade rose 7.9% to USD 127.7 billion in 2025-26, compared with USD 118.39 billion in 2024-25. India's exports to China increased 36.62% to USD 19.47 billion, while imports from China rose 16% to USD 131.62 billion. As a result, India's trade deficit with China reached USD 99.19 billion in 2025-26, compared with around USD 85 billion in the previous fiscal year. The figures highlight the gap between India's exports to China and its imports from the country, making trade balance an important issue in the ongoing discussions.Supply chains and investment also on the agendaSupply chain resilience is another key area being discussed by the two countries. Agrawal said both sides are looking at ways to address supply chain concerns and structural imbalances while building greater trust in bilateral trade. Chinese investment in India is also part of the broader economic relationship. India has maintained restrictions on foreign direct investment from countries sharing a land border with India. According to figures cited by the Commerce Ministry, India received USD 2.51 billion in FDI from China between April 2000 and March 2026. India-China trade continues to growTrade between the two countries has continued to expand despite the imbalance.During April-August 2026-27, India's exports to China increased to USD 9.61 billion, compared with USD 6.93 billion during the same period a year earlier. Imports from China rose to USD 65.49 billion, from USD 51.56 billion. India recorded export growth across sectors including engineering goods, electronic items, petroleum products, organic and inorganic chemicals, and iron ore.More meetings expectedThe latest trade engagement comes after a prolonged gap in high-level economic discussions. Both countries are now expected to continue talks on trade concerns, supply chains and the structural imbalance.Agrawal indicated that the process is still at an early stage, with further meetings expected as India and China work to understand each other's concerns and positions. The renewed engagement could provide a platform for discussions on market access, supply chain issues, trade imbalance and investment, although the outcome will depend on the positions adopted by both sides in subsequent negotiations

FTAs: Bridging the Gap Between Market Access and Market Success

India is stepping up efforts to ensure that businesses across the country make greater use of the opportunities created by Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), with the government calling for a nationwide push to improve awareness and utilisation of these trade arrangements.Addressing a meeting on ‘Leveraging Free Trade Agreements (FTAs)’ last Thursday, the Commerce Minister emphasised the need to maximise FTA utilisation so that the benefits of enhanced market access reach businesses across India.While FTAs provide exporters with preferential access to international markets, their effectiveness ultimately depends on how effectively companies understand and use the provisions available to them.Awareness Remains a Key ChallengeThe issue of limited awareness about FTA benefits is not new. India’s Foreign Trade Policy Statement released on April 1, 2015, had already highlighted the lack of awareness among industry about the advantages available under various trade agreements.At the time, the government had set an ambitious target of increasing India’s merchandise and services exports from $465.9 billion in 2013-14 to $900 billion by 2019-20.The policy identified awareness-building as an important step towards improving FTA utilisation. As part of the effort, the government introduced an outreach programme covering Tier-I and Tier-II cities, followed by a series of seminars and awareness initiatives.Tracking FTA-Based ExportsAnother important issue identified in the 2015 policy was the difficulty in accurately measuring exports taking place under FTAs.Export documentation did not separately capture preferential trade data, making it difficult to determine the actual value of India's exports benefiting from FTAs. The policy noted that exports under various FTAs could not be quantified accurately.Certificates of Origin were identified as a possible means of estimating such trade. However, the government also acknowledged that this method had considerable scope for error.The policy therefore proposed the development of a system that could separately capture export data under FTAs.From Market Access to Market SuccessThe renewed focus on FTA utilisation highlights an important distinction: signing trade agreements and securing preferential market access are only the first steps. The larger challenge is ensuring that exporters, particularly businesses outside major commercial centres, understand the agreements and are able to use them effectively.For Indian exporters, greater awareness of tariff preferences, rules of origin, documentation requirements and other FTA provisions could help translate negotiated market access into actual export opportunities.The government's latest push therefore places greater emphasis on FTA awareness, utilisation and measurable outcomes, with the broader objective of ensuring that India's trade agreements deliver tangible benefits to businesses and strengthen the country's position in global markets.

Textile Mills in Tamil Nadu Step Up Investments in Modernisation

Textile mills in Tamil Nadu are increasing capital investments in modernisation and capacity expansion as demand for cotton and blended yarns shows signs of recovery.Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu: Textile mills across Tamil Nadu are beginning to increase investments in modernisation, automation and capacity expansion after facing one of the industry's most challenging periods in recent years.The renewed investment activity comes as demand for cotton and blended yarns has improved over the past few months, encouraging mills to upgrade machinery and strengthen production capabilities.KPR Mills Invests ₹260 Crore in ModernisationAmong the companies stepping up investment is KPR Mills, which informed the Bombay Stock Exchange on August 10 that it is investing ₹260 crore to modernise and expand two of its spinning mills at Karumathampatti in Coimbatore district.The company expects the upgraded facilities to become operational by the third and fourth quarters of the current financial year.The investment reflects a broader shift among textile manufacturers towards improving productivity and competitiveness through modern machinery and upgraded production systems.Mills Focus on Capacity and AutomationOther textile mills in the region are also looking at modernisation and capacity expansion.The Pallana Group, based in Pallapalayam, is investing in modernisation and capacity addition at its medium-scale textile mill in the Kannampalayam area. The mill is also adding capacity by sourcing second-hand machinery.The renewed focus on investment is being driven by the need to improve productivity and remain competitive in a market where operating costs and raw-material prices continue to fluctuate.An industry representative noted that modernisation is increasingly important for mills seeking to improve productivity, increase automation and gain a cost advantage. “If we do not reinvest and if there is no capital investment, we will lose out. With modernisation, the mills will get better productivity, improve on automation, and get a cost advantage.” Export Orders Begin to RecoverThe improvement in export demand is providing additional confidence to textile manufacturers.According to the report, export orders have revived in recent months, with global demand for yarn showing signs of improvement. China has emerged as the main buyer of yarn, supporting the recovery in the market.The development comes after a prolonged period of weak demand that placed significant pressure on spinning mills across Tamil Nadu.Textile Industry Recovers After Prolonged CrisisTamil Nadu's textile industry has experienced one of its longest periods of difficulty since 2022. Several mills have either shut down operations or reduced production during the last four years.Mills that have continued operations, particularly those that had secured cotton supplies earlier, are now benefiting from the improvement in demand.The recent recovery is encouraging mills to reconsider capital expenditure and invest in technologies that can improve operational efficiency.Rising Cotton Prices Remain a ConcernDespite improving market conditions, rising cotton prices remain a major concern for textile mill owners.The domestic cotton market has been strengthening, increasing the cost burden for spinning mills. Higher raw-material costs could put pressure on profitability if yarn prices do not rise sufficiently to compensate.Industry participants are therefore balancing the opportunity created by recovering yarn demand with the challenge of higher cotton prices.Modernisation to Shape the Next PhaseThe latest investments indicate that textile mills are moving towards a more technology-driven production model. Modern machinery, automation and capacity optimisation can help manufacturers improve efficiency while reducing production costs.For Tamil Nadu, one of India's major textile manufacturing hubs, continued investment in modernisation could strengthen the competitiveness of its spinning sector in both domestic and international markets. With yarn demand showing signs of recovery and export orders improving, the coming months could provide textile mills with an opportunity to rebuild capacity and invest in long-term efficiency.

India Seeks Exporter Inputs to Expand US Market Access

India’s Commerce Department has sought detailed information from exporters on products that the United States does not produce domestically but imports from India, as the government looks to identify opportunities for greater market access.The move comes ahead of Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal’s planned visit to the US later this month to attend the G20 Trade Ministers’ Meeting. The meeting, scheduled from September 30 to October 1 under the US presidency of the G20, comes as India and the US continue negotiations on a bilateral trade agreement (BTA).Government Seeks Sector-Specific Export InformationAt a meeting on India-US trade performance, exporters and industry representatives highlighted concerns over lower order volumes from American customers and uncertainty surrounding US trade measures.The Commerce Department is seeking information on products for which India could potentially gain a stronger position in the US market, particularly where American domestic production is limited or unavailable.Industry representatives indicated that US trade actions are already having an impact on sectors including leather and footwear, textiles, marine products and polished diamonds.Exporters also noted that American buyers are being cautious with order volumes while diversifying sourcing destinations amid continuing tariff uncertainties.Forced Labour Rules Add Compliance PressureAnother concern raised during the meeting was the scrutiny by US Customs authorities regarding products manufactured using forced labour.The issue is particularly significant for export-oriented industries that supply the US market, as companies face increasing requirements around supply-chain transparency, sourcing practices and compliance.Industry stakeholders have urged the government to engage with US authorities on these concerns and work towards reducing trade-related uncertainties for Indian exporters.Safeguard Measures on Quartz Surface ProductsThe industry also flagged safeguard measures imposed by the US on quartz surface products.Exporters have called upon the Commerce and Industry Ministry to take up the issue with American authorities as part of ongoing discussions on bilateral trade and market access.The concerns come as India seeks to strengthen its export position in the US while navigating a more complex global trade environment.Bilateral Trade Agreement Remains a Key FocusThe discussions assume significance as India and the US continue negotiations on a bilateral trade agreement.According to the report, the first tranche of the agreement is expected to come into force once Washington ensures that India secures a comparative advantage over competing exporters.The government is also monitoring US measures linked to India's imports of Russian oil and gas, as well as other trade-related investigations and proposed tariff actions.US Trade Measures Raise Concerns for Indian ExportersIndustry representatives raised concerns over the US Section 301 investigation related to excess capacity and proposed measures connected with countries purchasing Russian oil.The US has also identified India among countries allegedly associated with a "shadow trans-shipment network", involving the movement of Chinese goods to bypass American tariffs. The US has announced plans to use artificial intelligence to identify and address such shipments.These developments could add further compliance and market-access challenges for Indian exporters.India's US Trade PerformanceIndia's exports to the United States declined marginally by 0.05% to USD 25.48 billion during the first quarter of FY27, while imports from the US increased by 23.82% to USD 16.6 billion, according to the figures cited in the report.The trade figures underline the importance of maintaining market access and addressing tariff and regulatory concerns as India works to strengthen its position in the US market.Textile Sector in FocusFor India's textile and apparel industry, the developments are particularly relevant as the US remains an important export destination.Greater clarity on tariffs, forced-labour compliance, sourcing requirements and market-access conditions could influence export strategies for Indian textile manufacturers and exporters. The government's move to gather sector-specific information from exporters could help identify products and industries where India can strengthen its competitiveness and secure additional opportunities in the US market.

Chennai Port Targets More Non-Container Cargo to Boost Trade and Revenue

Chennai Port, one of the country’s major container ports, is expanding its focus on non-containerised cargo while seeking to attract new trade through the port.The Chennai Port Authority launched the Non-Containerised Cargo Incentive Scheme (NCCS) in June this year. Officials said the initiative was introduced to overcome the loss incurred due to the impact of the conflict in West Asia and to create additional revenue streams.The port has gradually started handling new categories of non-containerised cargo under the scheme. In recent times, it has handled 13,208 metric tonnes of pig iron (commonly known as crude iron), 80,000 tonnes of rice, 15,000 tonnes of pulses, and 17,000 tonnes of steel billet.Incentives for New CargoThe conflict in West Asia affected container traffic at the port, resulting in a dip. To address the loss and increase revenue streams, the port sought to bring in a more diverse mix of cargo.Under the NCCS, the port aims to provide a competitive advantage and increase the volume of cargo handled by encouraging existing firms and attracting new firms to Chennai Port for handling non-containerised cargo.“The port has nearly 65% of container traffic, 28% is liquid bulk (crude oil and petroleum products), and the rest is dry bulk (products including barytes, gypsum, fertilisers) or break bulk (products, including grains, granite blocks, and steel coils). Over the years, there has been some decline in dry and break bulk, and we wanted to retain existing firms and attract new firms by incentivising those who are coming to the Chennai Port for handling non-containerised cargo and that is the NCCS scheme,” an official said.Wharfage Fee ReductionThe NCCS provides incentives for both new and existing firms handling non-containerised cargo through Chennai Port.When a new firm imports or exports through Chennai Port, or an existing firm that already handles non-containerised cargo through the port brings in incremental cargo, the wharfage fee (cargo handling charges) gets reduced by up to 80 per cent based on eligibility.For an existing firm that handles 95 per cent of the cargo handled in the last financial year, an additional loyalty bonus equivalent to 10 per cent is provided.Officials have also been holding meetings with stakeholders to encourage the movement of more non-containerised cargo through Chennai Port.

The Importance of Moisture Separators in Compressed Air Systems

The Importance of Moisture Separators in Compressed Air Systems

Compressed air is widely used in industries for automation, machinery operation, and process control. However, moisture present in compressed air can affect equipment performance and may lead to corrosion, contamination, and maintenance issues.A moisture separator is designed to remove condensed water and moisture from compressed air.

Textile Export Trends 2026: International Consumers are Favoring Cotton Yarn from India

Textile Export Trends 2026: International Consumers are Favoring Cotton Yarn from India

1.Unmatched Quality Combined with Technological AdvancementsThe key to Indian success in exporting cotton yarn has been its superior quality all along. India has a long and illustrious history of growing cotton, thanks to its advanced ginning and spinning infrastructure meeting international standards for quality. Contrary to commodity manufacturers, who produce standardized yarn, Indian spinning units are at the forefront in adopting latest innovations in areas such as open end, ring, and automated quality measurement systems in winding machines.These innovations provide a constant yarn count and tensile strengths with low variation rates. This will be highly appreciated by the global manufacturers of textiles. Nowadays, the buyer not only wants to purchase a yarn but a reliable textile with guaranteed performances from shirting to technical knit.Moreover, the flexibility of Indian mills in supplying a wide range of counts fine, medium, and compact cottons enables industries to produce various final products. This is one of the reasons why the export position of India’s textiles is improving.2. Sustainability as a Core Competitive Advantage“Sustainability has ceased to be a trend. It’s a prerequisite.” By the year 2026, the requirements of buyers in the European, North American, and Asian markets include their growing concerns about the environmental credentials, traceability, and ethical production of the products. Textile manufacturers of Indian cotton yarn have now strengthened their practices in the production process.There are more spinning mills being certified with recognized sustainability initiatives such as OEKO TEX, Better Cotton Initiative, or Global Organic Textile Standards. These initiatives assure the purchasing company that the said yarn bought does not contain any harmful elements or has been produced in socially responsible environments.In our Radheshyam Spinning Mill operation, environmentally responsible practices such as water conservation techniques, energy efficient motor use, and recycling techniques that minimize the environment’s effects. This has made environmentally responsible spending less expensive than expected and made environmentally responsible consumers our major attractants. They put the environment at the heart of the supply chain.3. Competitive Pricing Leveraging Economies of ScaleGlobal purchasers will necessarily have quality weighed against price, most likely in the highly price sensitive textiles industry. It is because the Indian cotton yarn has established competitiveness by utilizing economy of scales, optimized manufacturing efficiency, and stabilized price structures.In contrast to smaller suppliers who lack any real negotiation power when it comes to sourcing raw cotton, larger textile clusters in India ensure that their mills are able to quote fixed prices to foreign customers, despite the market being prone to raw cotton price volatility.Indian cotton yarn suppliers have made themselves desirable partners for the brands by offering value without compromising on the quality of the product.4. Strategic Geographic Advantage and Improved LogisticsSecondly, another reason for the increased interest of international consumers in the Indian market is the strategic geographical position as well as improved export infrastructural arrangements. It is conveniently situated to meet the demands of Africa, the Asia Pacific region, Asia, as well as the Americas.In recent years, there has been increased expenditure on port handling, transport, and export facilitation policies, hence increasing shipping efficiency. This is because ports like Nhava Sheva (Mumbai), Mundra, and Chennai can process a larger quantity of shipments faster.Further, bilateral trade deals, duty incentives, and simplified customs clearance systems have enhanced the competitiveness of Indian exports. The improvement in logistics makes it easy for buyers to reduce lead times, manage inventory effectively, and avoid costly delays that are an important factor in the currently fast moving market.5. Emphasis on Innovation & Product DifferentiationThe textile industry is moving at a rapid pace of innovation, and buyers are increasingly looking for specialty yarns, be it performance wear, technical textiles, and/or fashion segments. The Indian mills are taking up this challenge and providing value added products such as compact yarns, antibiotic yarns, and blends.Cotton breeders, engineers, and manufacturing specialists have worked in collaboration to provide yarns that exhibit strength, texture, moisture management, and durability. These factors are attractive to brands that are looking to differentiate themselves.Export statistics reveal a growing trend in both volume and value for specialty cotton yarn shipped from India, which highlights the point that innovation, along with quality, is being highly prized in the worldwide marketplace.6. Improving Buyer & SellerIn a world where supply chain resilience is a key priority, the value of lasting partnerships is higher than ever. Suppliers from the Indian textiles industry have ensured that trust is established through open communication, flexible delivery of orders, as well as after sales service.Customers value suppliers for understanding cycles within the market, offering customized supplies as per end use requirements, and ensuring delivery promises. Indian textile millers have relied on the strategy of maintaining such relationships by exceeding the limits of pure transactional dealings and acting as allies for growth.This service oriented mentality allows the Indian cotton yarn suppliers to be the suppliers of choice among companies that prefer to work with a business that looks to work together towards a common goal.ConclusionIndia’s Dominance in the Global Cotton Yarn Market In drawing out the trend of textiles exported in 2026, one thing remains evident, and that is Indian cotton yarn, which has ceased to be a commodity, as it has become a smart procurement option for foreign importers. Indian yarn, with its efficacy, cost effectiveness, innovative approach, and partnerships, has created a niche in the import sector.For Radheshyam Spinning Mill, this trend means, of course, not only an increase in exports but also an understanding of the role of India in the progress of the textile future. We are ready to help international buyers with their yarn requirements in light of the current and future demands. While collaborating with Indian suppliers of cotton yarn, global brands and companies are preferring reliability, robustness, and unparalleled value for money, and this trend will continue to shape the textile patterns even after the year 2026.

Process of manufacturing of the Cotton Yarns

Process of manufacturing of the Cotton Yarns

Raw cotton is packaged in bales, and each bale will always have some quantity of trash or impurities in it. Trash is another name for these contaminants. The components that make up garbage include shattered seeds, husks, shattered leaves, dirt, and short fibers, amongst other things. The quality of the fibers determines the percentage of waste, which can range anywhere from 1% to 15% of the total. In most cases, cotton fibers are brought into the country in the form of bales, which is a highly compact format.Blow roomIn a cotton yarn spinning factory, the first portion that is completed is called the blow room. In this section, the procedure calls for the employment of a succession of various kinds of opening, cleansing, and mixing equipment in the specified order.CardingCarding may be described as the process of reducing an entangled or matted mass of fibers to a filmy web by working them between two closely spaced, relatively moving surfaces covered with sharp points. This is accomplished by moving the fibers between the carding surfaces. Carding motion is produced when the teeth on both sides are made to function in conjunction with one another from point to point. The process is known as stripping action and occurs when the gears are turned such that the point of rotation is at the back of the machine.Drawing FrameThe motion of the rollers is responsible for almost all of the draught that is produced during drawing. In the creel of the drawing, frames are affixed to several containers containing the sliver that was produced by the carding procedure. When a sliver is fed into a system consisting of paired rollers running at different speeds, the process known as “drafting” takes place. By drafting the fibers in the sliver to make more of them parallel to the axis of the sliver, drawing is able to straighten the fibers in the sliver. When the fibers are later twisted into yarn, parallelization is required in order to acquire the qualities that are needed.Drawing results in a sliver that is more consistent in weight per unit of length, which contributes to higher blending possibilities, and the process also generates a sliver. The finisher drawing technique results in virtually straight fibers that are parallel to the axis of the sliver. This is because the finisher drawing procedure is the last drawing step. It is not possible to draught a finisher-drawing sliver into yarn using typical ring-spinning devices because the weight per unit length of the sliver is excessive.Speed/Roving FrameThe sliver delivered from the drawing frame and placed in the sliver container is fed into the speed frame. Another name for the speed frame is the roving frame.Roving is the name given to the product that is distributed by roving machines. Roving is a kind of fiber strand that has a count that is lower than that of a sliver. In addition to that, it has a slight twist in order to maintain the integrity of the Fibers. It is coiled onto a package that is appropriate for feeding spinning machines.During the roving process, the weight of the sliver is reduced to a size that is more appropriate for spinning into yarn and included twist, both of which help to preserve the integrity of the draught strands. Cans of slivers left over from finisher drawing or combing are placed in the creel, and individual slivers are then fed through two sets of rollers, one of which rotates at a slower speed than the other. This causes the diameter of the sliver to decrease from approximately 2.5 centimeters to that of a standard pencil. The process of passing a bundle of fibers through a device called a “flyer” for roving results in the fibers acquiring a twist. The product is now known as “roving,” and it is packed on a bobbin that is approximately 37.5 centimeters long and approximately 14 centimeters in diameter.Ring SpinningRing spinning is a global spinning system. Creeling, twisting, drafting, winding, building up, and doffing are the stages that are involved in the process of ring spinning. The standard number of spindles found in ring frames is between 400 and 500, although a delivery option of 1000 spindles, or spindles per ring frame, is also available. The rovings, which are supplied to the ring frame in the shape of bobbins, are then fed into the creels of the machine. A pulling motion unwinds the rovings, and then they are moved through the drafting zone. The drafted fibers undergo twisting and formation of yarn at the front side of the drafting rollers that are front rollers.YarnThe delivery cargo, which is a yarn bobbin, is located on the spindle in this picture. The yarn that has been provided is wound onto the yarn bobbin.

What is open end yarn and properties

What is open end yarn and properties

Spinning, also known as open-end spinning, is the procedure that is used to create open-end yarns. In certain circles, this technique is also referred to as the carded, break, or rotor spinning method. After the drafting phase, the silver is then directly put into the rotary beater as part of this process of spinning; this means that the roving process does not take place.During this stage of the process, the silver is combed by the machine after being directly fed into it. After this step, fibers are deposited onto the rotor, where they are further deposited along the groove with the assistance of air current and centrifugal force. After this step, the yarns are taken from the center of the rotor, and the fibers are subsequently twisted from the yarns.When using this particular method of spinning, the package does not need to be rotated in order to create a twist in the yarns. This not only provides a greater speed for twisting but also reduces the amount of power that is necessary for the process. Since this is the case, the production rate of open-end spinning is approximately six to eight times greater than that of the ring frame spinning method.Yarns that are produced using the technique of open-end spinning have a structure that is consistent; while having a lesser strength than other yarns, they have excellent resistance to abrasion. They are more extensible, thicker, and absorbent in their natural state.Open end yarn properties:The open-end yarn is characterized by the following qualities:Tensile strength:The open-end yarn has a disorganized arrangement of the fibers inside it. A lower degree of parallelization of the fibers can be observed. Along the length of the skein, there are several fibers that are not aligned parallel to one another. The open-end yarn has a weak tensile strength as a result of these unique fibers.The evenness of the yarn:Because the short-term mass leveling occurs within the rotor while the operation is taking place, the open-end yarn is more uniform than the ring-spun yarn.The bulkiness of yarn:When compared to the ring spun yarn, the open-end yarn contains fewer parallel strands. When compared to ring spun yarn, open-end yarn is characterized by a greater propensity toward bulkiness. This is because open-end yarn exhibits a lower degree of fiber parallelization.The rigidity of the yarn:The combination of the relatively straight core fibers and the sheath-core structure results in a yarn that is stiffer in terms of both its tensile and bending qualities.Elongation:The open-end yarn has excellent elongation characteristics.Abrasion resistance:The abrasion resistance of the open-end yarn is high.
