Textile units in Tirupur have asked spinning mills to supply cotton immediately, alleging that the latter stopped supplies without any reasons. Raja M Shanmugham, president, Tirupur Exporters Association (TEA) said that the mills have stopped supplying cotton yarn and are not taking up the fresh orders. “They have not given any reasons, despite the fact that prices have gone up by about Rs 50 a kg the past six months,” said Shanmugham, who has written to all the Textile Mills Associations, SIMA, TASMA and ITF to advise their members to supply the yarn continuously to protect the Tirupur Knitwear Exports sector.

CHENNAI: It’s a perfect Christmas gift that garment exporters from the knitwear capital Tirupur were looking for, as exports for the October-December quarter may be among the best quarters ever, with a 15% increase in exports.
“We expect exports to grow at least 15% (by volume) and 10% by value for this quarter,” said Raja Shanmugham, head of Tirupur Exporters Association. The demand pull has been so strong that exports for the current fiscal may top last years’ Rs 25,000 crore even though more than two months were lost due to lockdown and production impairment due to labour shortage.
