<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Indian spinning mills produce world-class export quality yarn, with China and Bangladesh being the major importers of Indian yarn. India accounts for about one-fourth of the total world trade in yarn. The weaving, processing units in India are highly decentralised.
