The Indian government has lifted the restrictions on cotton yarn exports that it set in December in an attempt to keep prices from soaring and to meet growing demand on the domestic market. The removal of the limit of 720 million kg means that shipments of cotton overseas no longer need governmental approval. The European Textile and Apparel Confederation was pleased with the announcement, saying it was a positive sign for the industry, particularly in Europe, where the supply chain was disrupted by the restriction.
