CMD's Message

CCI is the central agency of the Government of India under Ministry of Textiles for undertaking Minimum Support Price (MSP) Operations of seed cotton (Kapas), whenever the prices of kapas fall below the MSP level. Besides MSP operations, to fulfill the raw material requirement of the domestic textile industry, CCI also undertakes viable commercial operation as and when required.
Over the years, technology up-gradations and innovations have always had a profound effect on society and organizations. The application of innovations in the realm of communication and IT has fundamentally transformed the way organizations function and interface with their stakeholders.
We, at the Cotton Corporation of India, have always realized that the Corporation needs to move with the times. Rapidly changing world is throwing up new challenges and new opportunities. I am confident that the CCI will seize these opportunities and scale new goals in coming years with speed and efficiency leaving no space for doubts or delay.
