Due to high input cost, paying hefty funds for cleaning the discharged water and increased rates of the raw material, the Ludhiana Dyeing Association has decided to increase the rates of dyeing with immediate effect.

The dyeing of polyester and acrylic is increased to Rs 5 per kg while PC dyeing will be increased Rs 8 per kg. The move has jolted the knitting and textile industry as the cost of yarn will further witness a sharp increase.

Ashok Makkar, president of the association, said the step had to be taken as it was being very difficult for dyeing units to run the show with increased input cost, paying too heavy for cleaning the CETP water etc.

“We have already put in so much efforts in bringing common effluent treatment plant (CETP). In addition, the units are paying for cleaning of discharged water. How can we bear this much financial burden? At times due to shortage of power, we run the dyeing units on generators, which is highly expensive. After holding several meetings, we have come to the conclusion of increasing the dyeing rates,” said Makkar.

Another dyeing unit owner, Bobby Jindal, said dyeing units had to spend in crores in getting the CETP. “On top of it, the cost of raw material, dyeing colours etc has also increased. We are also here to do business and can not put from our pockets. But yes ultimately, the consumer will have to pay for it as yarn rates will be increased. The end buyer is the customer, who will bear the brunt”, said Jindal.
