The Karur Textile Manufacturers Exporters’ Association has expressed disappointment over absence of any announcement in the Union Budget with respect to checking the continued rise in the prices of cotton yarn.
“We were expecting an announcement in the Budget as we had made repeated representations to the government seeking steps to control the prices of yarn. Despite our pleas, yarn prices have gone up by about 35% since September/October last year. The prices were hiked twice in January this year and now again on February 1, pushing us into a crisis situation,” P. Gopalakrishnan, president of the association, told The Hindu.
