Government of India. Ministry of Commerce. Report of the Indian Tariff Board on the Cotton Yarn and Cloth Prices

1948

(c) Industry's demand for an increase in the prices of cloth and yarn.—The reduction in the prices of yarn and cloth made in November 1945 was heavier in the case of coarse and medium varieties of cloth than in that of fine and superfine varieties mainly because the prices of Indian raw cotton had declined during the months of September Octber and November 1945. [...] The proposed icreases in the prices of coarse and medium varieties of cloth and yarn were meant to compensate for the increase in the prices of Indian raw cotton and in wages so that the production of coarse and medium cloth and yarn might be made remunerative and thereby the tendency of the mills to go finer ' might be checked. [...] The 4vised terms are as follows :— (i) To enquire into the cost of production of the various types of cloth and yarn produced and to estimate fair ex-mill prices of cloth and yarn ; and (ii) To devise a suitable method for necessary adjustments from time to time in the fair ex-mill prices of cloth and yarn so as to allow for major fluctuations in the prices of raw cotton and other elements of cos [...] We then compare the schedule of the estimated fair ex-mill prices with the schedule of the ex-mill prices as fixed by the Textile Commissioner in the first period by the industry in the second period and by the mills individually in the third period. [...] It may also be mentioned that the Millowners' Associations concerned. to whom the names of the selected mills were communicated at an early stage of the inquiry with one eception made no comments as to the representative character of the mills selected."10 6.
