India’s cotton imports for the 2024-25 season ending September are seen more than doubling to 33 lakh bales of 170 kg each on further shrinkage in the domestic crop. Last season, India’s cotton imports stood at 15.20 lakh bales.

The Cotton Association of India (CAI), in its latest projections, has revised upwards the import estimates to 33 lakh bales, up from earlier projections of 30 lakh bales. Till March end about 25 lakh bales are estimated to have arrived at the Indian ports.

The upward revision in imports is on expectations of lower than estimated domestic production even as the consumption is seen flat.
