印度纺织厂已经预订近80万包进口棉花，主要来自非洲国家。

India has been booked textile imports cotton nearly 800000 package，Mainly comes from African countries。

　　由于国内纺织工业预期未来几个月棉花供应量出现缺口，而明年(2012年10月-2013年9月)棉花进入市场时间推迟，因此进口量可能继续增加。

Because domestic textile industry expected over the next few months the gap between cotton supply，And next year(2012 October-September 2013)Cotton to enter the market time delay，So imports may continue to increase。

　　纺织厂知情人士说，进口可能达到150万包或者更多，纺织厂可能从其他产棉国购买更多棉花，例如，美国和巴基斯坦。但是，进口不会影响国内棉花价格，因为进口只是为了弥补国内供应量缺口。棉花咨询委员会估计，今年(2011年10月-2012年9月)国内纺织厂棉花消费量为2320万包。每月实际消费量大约200万包。这意味着，纺织厂每年需要近2400万包。今年几乎出口1200万包。由于9月-10月棉花供应量可能出现缺口，因此，纺织厂开始寻找海外棉花。

Textile mills insider said，Imports may reach 1.5 million bag or more，From other ChanMian countries textile mill could buy more cotton，For example，The United States and Pakistan。but，Imports will not affect the domestic cotton prices，Because just in order to make up the domestic supply imported gap。Cotton advisory committee estimates，This year(2011 October-September 2012)Domestic textile mills cotton consumption for 23.2 million bags。The actual consumption per month about 2 million bags。This means that，Every year nearly 24 million textile mill to bag。Almost 12 million packets of export this year。Due to the September-October cotton supply may appear gap，so，Cotton textile mill started looking for overseas。

　　印度棉花协会副会长K.维斯瓦纳坦说，棉花咨询委员会预估，今年棉花进口数量为60万包。我们现在可能面临棉花短缺的情况。因此，印度纺织厂开始进口棉花，价格是主要的吸引力。尚卡尔–6棉花上周涨至38，800卢比，现在徘徊在38,500卢比/ candy。国内卖家惜售，因为他们预期，季风时间推迟，价格将会上扬。买家则不确定纱线市场走势，他们希望放慢采购棉花的速度。

India cotton association, vice President of k. Davis, watts, said，Cotton advisory committee estimates，This year the number 600000 bales cotton import for。We may now be facing a shortage of cotton。so，India to start importing cotton textile mill，The price is the main attraction。Still Carl-6 cotton last week rose to 38，800 rupees，Now wander in the 38,500 rupees / Candy。Domestic sellers rised，Because they expected，Monsoon time delay，The price will rise。The buyer is not sure yarn market movements，They hope to slow down the speed of the purchase of cotton。

　　一位官员说，kapas棉花到货量明显下降。

One official said，Kapas cotton arrival evidently decreased。

　　签约棉花价格为每磅72-80美分，而印度棉花价格接近85美分/磅。这位官员说，因此，需要有一个强大的棉花流通政策。
