Indian spinning mills are looking to domestic demand from the garments sector for relief from oversupply situation caused due to decline in cotton yarn exports to China. China has been a major importer of cotton yarn from India with a share of about 46% of Indian exports of the commodity, but that has declined substantially – to an estimated 4% in the first three quarters of FY2015 – undermining the health of Indian spinning mills.
