According to Ind-Ra, cotton prices inched up by 2-4% on a month-on-month (MoM) basis and were even higher on a year-on-year (YoY) basis during November 2020. "The incremental demand from spinning mills coupled with a higher demand for cotton seeds amid a continued supply deficit led to the rise in cotton prices," the ratings agency said in a report. "<keyword id="381620" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Cotton-Corporation-of-India">Cotton Corporation of India</keyword> continued their support in form of market procurement during the current crop season. The spread of international cotton over domestic cotton remained steady during October-November 2020." Besides, it cited that domestic cotton yarn production continued to grow on both MoM and YoY basis at 3.3 per cent and 2 per cent, respectively, on back of a high export demand. "However, the increase in raw material costs was lesser than yarn prices, resulting in higher gross margins for sector players during 2QFY21-3QFY21," the report said. "Exports increased substantially YoY in September 2020 and are likely to moderate during 3QFY21 upon the execution of winter season orders by key importers." Furthermore, it said yarn sector will likely benefit from an improved competitive situation with consolidation in the sector because of the liquidity crunch being faced by several small and mid-players. In addition, the ratings agency pointed out that cotton cloth fabric prices gained momentum during October 2020, led by an incremental demand because of the festive season and opening of retail stores and malls; however, other fabric prices remained soft. "The production of knitted fabrics and PSF or viscose staple fibre remained marginally lower; however, that of woven fabrics improved 15 per cent YoY in September 2020, reflecting a gradual recovery." "Fabric exports increased 13% MoM, while remaining lower 11% YoY. Fabric players reported substantial operating losses compared to readymade garment players, on account of the closure of retail stores, malls during 1HFY21 and would remain weak for 2HFY21, given the social distancing and fear of a second wave of the pandemic."

What is also significant is that the growth registered in the quarter is broad-based, with channels across all languages reporting higher ad volumes over the corresponding period in previous years. With the festive season well and truly underway, the September THINK Report also takes a closer look at advertising on TV during the Ganesh Chaturthi Week. Ad Volumes on TV in the week grew 4% compared to the previous four-week average and posted a healthy 28% growth over 2019.

The number of advertisers on TV is also the highest for the quarter at 4226. As we have seen in earlier years, marketers are clearly leveraging the reach and power of TV to raise the visibility of their brands this festive season. The strong growth of Ad Volumes in Q3 – which is 40 million seconds higher than in Q2 – also points to the positive sentiment regarding the improving economic and business environment.” Ad Volumes on TV for September 2021 is the highest since 2019, registering a 15% growth over the same period in the previous year.

New Delhi, Dec 23 () National Association of Street Vendors of India (NASVI) and food regulator FSSAI will jointly organise national street food festival in the national capital during December 25-29.
The 11th National Street Food Festival will be organised at Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium here and around 75,000 people are expected to visit the festival.
During the event, Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) will also organise its second edition of the 'National Eat Right Mela' to promote healthy foods.
"Through this mela, we want to give a unique and distinct identify to our
local and street food," FSSAI CEO Pawan Kumar Agarwal told reporters here.
"We are also offering a platform to the packaged food industry to showcase innovation in terms of newer areas like reformulation of food products, healthier food variants as well as sustainable and enhanced packaging solutions," he added.
Agarwal said there will be a complete package for people -- delicious street food, entertainment and education -- in this festival.
The theme of this year's festival is 'healthier diets' where the idea is to focus various initiatives of FSSAI around healthy eating through gamification (in an interactive manner through games and quizzes).
Food Safety pavilion will focus on demonstration of rapid food testing kits/devices.
On December 26, Health minister Harsh Vardhan will launch the 'Network for Scientific Co-operation for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition' (NetSCoFAN), a network of research and academic institutions working in the area of food and nutrition.
Sangeeta Singh, Head of Programs, NASVI, said: "This festival, over the years, has helped mainstream various street vending communities. We expect a footfall of around 75,000 during the five day festival".
Arbind Singh, National Coordinator, NASVI, said about 130 street vendors would get the opportunity to showcase their regional cuisines to thousands of visitors from various walks of life. MJH BAL

According to <keyword id="1370385" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Yadvinder-Singh-Guleria">Yadvinder Singh Guleria</keyword>, Director, Sales and Marketing, HMSI, ease in Covid restrictions, current stock levels at the dealerships and <keyword id="9948494" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="high-customer-enquiries">high customer enquiries</keyword> have bolstered the recovery prospects. The two-wheeler giant had reported a growth of just 1 per cent in <keyword id="9948496" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="domestic-sales-last-month">domestic sales last month</keyword> on a year-on-year basis. Accordingly, the company's total sales during August stood at 4,43,969 units, including 4,28,231 domestic off-take and 15,738 exports. Sequentially, <keyword id="20630" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Honda">Honda</keyword>'s sales grew by a significant 38 per cent in August comp ared to July. "We are optimistic for September. However, factors like rising Covid cases per day, persistence of some local lockdowns and the inauspicious period in September can not be ignored," he told IANS. "On the other hand, 95 per cent of our network is back, we have witnessed rising number of enquiries about new products, in some cases 75 per cent more test rides have taken place on a fortnightly basis and then there is the pent-up demand factor as well." Traditionally, sales momentum has slowed down during the astrologically inauspicious time period of 'Shradh' as customers postpone their buying decision. Interestingly, after 160 years, this inauspicious time period is followed by a 'gap month' in astrological calendar, that is delaying the onset of festive season. These notions and traditions are highly believed and followed in rural India, which is also a base for two-wheeler consumption. Nonetheless, Guleria cited the urban base of the company as a major contributor to its overall growth. "We have a significant presence in urban areas. Now, we are also see ing some 'green shoots' in urban demand as the pandemic spreads to semi rural areas and the hinterland," he said during the interaction. "Southern region has boosted our prospects. We have a healthy traction in this region. Overall, rural sales will continue to be a major contributor to our sales as healthy monsoon rains, higher crop output and support pr ices will bolster buying sentiment." On the upcoming festive season, he said the two-wheeler major was now confident of achieving healthy sales level during this period. "There will be pent-up demand and customers will be attracted to new offerings, we are now working with our dealers to prepare ahead to meet this demand," he said. "Production and dispatches levels are optimal but you really do not want to overstock during these uncertain times." The company has a line-up of 14 models including its latest motorcycle Hornet 2.0 dispatched for the festive season. In terms of new offerings, Guleria cited that recently launched motorcycles h ave reached dealerships and received healthy response. "We have witnessed this shift towards personal mobility due to Covid. This shift is not entirely towards purchase of cars but the demand trajectory is for two-wheelers," he explained. "We have also witnessed that customers' fear factor has gone down and the enquiries rate has increased. All these combined will give a healthy push during the festive season."

As per the DEA report, rise in minimum support prices accompanied by record procurement, and accelerated wage employment generation through MGNREGS, bodes well for rural incomes and bears testimony to PMGKY's success in alleviating rural distress. "This rise in rural incomes is mirrored in the healthy, though moderated, sales in passenger vehicles, two and three wheelers and tractor, and a rebound in vehicle registrations for the first time after March 2020," it added.

Terms of trade continue to be favourable for farmers, while rural spending by the government and progress in rabi sowing are the factors to watch out for, he added.
