The Federation of Indian Export Organisations organised an awareness programme on Tuesday for garment exporters in Tiruppur on export benefit schemes of the Central government.

The half-day programme, “Seminar on Exim Trade – Schemes and Incentive Under Customs and DGFT / Foreign Policy”, was to explain to the exporters the schemes and how they should apply to get the benefits.

K.M. Subramanian, president of the Tiruppur Exporters’ Association, said at the meeting that the AEPC and the Association had submitted data-supported representations to the government and sought revision of drawback rates and RoSCTL rates. Tiruppur contributed nearly 68% of the country’s knitwear exports. In 2024–2025, Tiruppur registered export turnover of ₹45,000 crore, which is 25% more than the previous financial year.

The Tiruppur exporters have an ambitious target to grow at 15% annually and touch ₹1 lakh crore exports by 2030. With favourable trade agreements and global demand for sustainable and ethical sourcing, the industry is confident of meeting the goal, he said.
