The Indian Spinners Association (ISA) has alleged that Grasim Industries, the prime manufacturer of VSF in India, is selling the raw material at prices much higher than global rates, hurting the domestic textile industry and hence urged the government to do away with the anti-dumping duty on viscose staple fibre (VSF), imposed in 2010 on shipments from China and Indonesia.

In India, VSF is a major input in the manufacture of fabrics made of poly-viscose and 100 per cent viscose yarn. There are about 150 spinning mills in the country, with about five million spindles.

Asian viscose staple fibre markets in Asia although described as quiet in the week ended 17 January 2014, prices continued to move up. However, as downstream mills in China were in the process of idling for Lunar New Year holiday, they were largely unreceptive to new prices and were not interested in building stock before the holidays. This implies that they expect prices to soften post holidays. Prices in India and Pakistan generally rolled over in an inactive week.
