Tiruppur's textile industry is experiencing a significant revival, driven by growing international demand for knitwear garments. 

Over the past few years, Tirupur’s fabric and garment producers have been reportedly negatively impacted by the imports of ready-made garments and fabrics from Bangladesh. In light of this, a joint meeting was called for in the Tirupur Exporters Association with representatives from Tirupur-based groups of fabric and ready-made garment manufacturers.

India’s textile/apparel export hub of Tirupur, near Chennai, in Tamil Nadu state, is bouncing back from the days of frequent production cuts and disruption caused by a dearth of orders. 

The political unrest in Bangladesh could turn out to be a blessing for Tamil Nadu’s Tiruppur, India’s knitwear hub, which contributes to almost 55 per cent of the country’s exports in the sector.

As India's air cargo volume is expected to quadruple over the next two decades-the largest projected growth of any worldwide market-a rebound of the country's apparel exporters could further ignite this push.
