INDORE: Partial shutdown in China since outbreak of Coronavirus and uncertainty over work resumption has prompted many global suppliers to shift enquiries to India for textiles and yarn, claimed industry players.Spinning mills and textile units in the region claimed to have received fresh enquiries from the United States, Europe and Russia amid disruption in supply chain from China.Manjeet Singh Chawla, president, Madhya Pradesh Cotton Ginners and Traders Association said, "In past few weeks fresh enquiries have started pouring in from global suppliers amid production and supply constraints in China. Global buyers are looking for alternate markets and India is one of them with fresh crop in."Spinning units of the region that were running at half of their capacities may pick up momentum on fresh demand, said industry players.They said business with alternate markets will help India reduce losses that it is likely to incur due to curtailed export to China that accounts for nearly one-third of India's yarn exports.Though enough availability and higher prices of cotton may pose a challenge for spinning mills locally as most of the fresh produce is being procured by state-run agency Cotton Corporation of India as spot prices are ruling below government fixed minimum support prices.There are about 125 ginning units in state of which around half of them are in Malwa-Nimar, the leading cotton growing region of MP.HS Jha, vice chairman, Madhya Pradesh Textiles Mills Association and an executive at a textile mill said, "China has cancelled most orders. This has led to shift of enquiries to India. We are also getting fresh enquiries for garment from overseas and hope to materialise them."Some industry players said cost of manufacturing in India could go up in coming months owing to a halt in supply of accessories from China used by textile industry.
