Lahore Kite Makers Face Raw Material Price Inflation Ahead of Basant Festival
What happened
Kite makers in Lahore are facing significant cost increases for raw materials needed for the Basant 2027 festival. Prices for cotton thread have risen sharply, moving from approximately Rs2,000 to as high as Rs3,500 in roughly two weeks. Manufacturers report that thread, kite paper, and bamboo are being held back and resold at inflated rates, noting that the current licensing regime does not cover these inputs.
