Apparel exporters face uncontrolled cotton yarn export competition driving up raw material costs

Indian apparel exporters are struggling with volatile cotton yarn prices and supply instability caused by unregulated exports, making it impossible to maintain consistent production costs and competitive pricing. Without government regulation on yarn exports, manufacturers cannot secure reliable, affordable raw materials, directly threatening their export margins and ability to fulfill international orders. Current market mechanisms fail to protect domestic manufacturers from export-driven supply shortages.
