Many textile mills in India operate with a slender margin and thus there is a dire need to control various relatively smaller costs in a competitive environment where selling price is determined largely by the market. The utilisation of raw material, energy, labour and machinery are critical and hence always reported in comparison to the industry norms.

In my business life, I have not seen a worse situation than this, where such a big disparity is there between spot cotton prices and yarn prices. This disparity for such an extended period of time shows there is a deep rooted problem and it?s not a temporary feature. The current isolated spurt in Indian cotton prices has aggravated the situation to an extent that many can hear the death knell. The more disturbing fact is that no domestic yarn buyer is hassled or is rushing to buy yarn-they know cotton prices have moved 50 per cent and yarn just 20 per cent-still no anxiety! International buyers have diverted their orders as cotton in India has increased much much more in comparison to international cotton prices.
