India's Jute Industry Forecasts 15% Sales Growth Amid Demand Recovery
India's jute industry is expected to recover in the current fiscal year with a projected 15% growth in sales volumes, reversing declines from the past two years. This improvement is driven by stronger domestic demand, estimated to rise 20%, softer raw jute prices, and better export prospects supported by value-added products and tariff rationalisation. These factors are anticipated to enhance profitability, margins, and the industry's credit profile, following challenges from high input costs and competition from alternative packaging materials.
