Indian govt raises cotton MSP up to 11.84% for 2025-26 season
India has raised the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for cotton by up to 11.84 per cent for the 2025–26 season, with medium staple at ₹7,710 and long staple at ₹8,110 per quintal. While aimed at supporting farmers, traders argue the hike makes Indian cotton less competitive globally, with domestic prices now higher than Brazilian cotton on a CIF basis.
