Dr. Yoganandan. G

Abstract :

 Tirupur is a dominant player in the knitting garment sector. The apparel exporters in Tirupur mostly produce and export 

knitted garments and the share of woven garment is insignificant when compared with knitted garment production 
and exports. Tirupur is known for the cluster activity and mostly each activity of garment making is being carried out in 
the outside units viz., knitting units, dyeing & bleaching units, faic printing, garmenting, emoidery, compacting and calendå and other 
ancillary units. The textile industry in Tirupur is facing many challenges like poor road and other transport infrastructure, labour shortage during 
peak season, outdated machineries, pollution, exchange rate fluctuations and cotton yarn price fluctuations and over dependence on cotton. 
To encourage apparel exporters to increase the export marketing activity the Indian government has to focus on manpower development and 
other innovative methods.
