Several Association has also contributed · Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) · South Indian Hosiery Manufacturers' Association (SIHMA) · Tirupur Exporters Association · Knit Cloth Manufacturers Association · Tirupur Dyers Association and Tirupur Export Knit Printers Association (UNIDO, 2005). All this Association has helped the manufacturers come together and work in harmony. An example of one of the advantages of this union is there was a time when the government increased the tariff on the import of cotton and yarn, so to protest this decision, the units in Tirupur were closed for the whole day. This government decision did affect the entire Indian textile market, but such protest was only seen at Tirupur. Support from Tamil Nadu Government Tamil Nadu is pushing its limits to support the textile market. They supported the textile market by boasting of the lucrative Tamil Nadu technical textiles policy with a thrust on medical textiles and MSME policy. They are supporting this industry.

It is contributing 80% of the total knitwear export of India, and out of total export of india it contributes 4% and 13.5% of the total export of Tamil Nadu. In 2021 - 2022 the total export of knitwear items from Tirupur was around $4.8 billion. The Tirupur export story was started in 1978 by an Italian merchant named Verona. He came with a Mumbai exporter to Tirupur, and he was pretty surprised with the t-shirt's quality. He was like the brand ambassador of Tirupur in Europe. In 1981 the first big label came to Tirupur to procure t-shirts and placed continuous orders for their t-shirts afterward. In today's time, many USA and European brands manufacture their t- shirts in bulk at Tirupur. Some brands are H&M, Zara, Mango, Tommy Hilfiger, and Gap. 60% of the USA population likely owns around ten t-shirts which are manufactured in Tirupur. Here the t-shirts are supplied to these brands at a very low price, like a max of $7.5, and they sell those t-shirts by marking up the price to 600%, that would be between $45 to $50. Problems Faced by T-shirt Manufacturing Hub Past Problems •The Government of Madras Verdict The High Court of Madras in 2011 ruled that those units imitating harmful gas should be shut down. This led to 173 units coming to a halt, and the production capacity of the city hit the bottom rock. After some time, every unit adopted the Effluent Treatment Plant and resumed their unit, and the units resumed their 100% capacity, and the demands were fulfilled.

4. Present Problems •Low Worker Availability and Job Hopping In Tirupur, there is no problem in getting raw materials. The industries have High- Tech machines to fulfill orders, but the problem they face is the low availability of skilled workers. Most of the Units in Tirupur are running at 50% capacity, whereas demand needs the unit to run at 100% capacity. •High Tariff on Import of Fiber In India, you have to pay import duty on the import of fiber. If the government imposes 0 import duty on it, then weaving, Spinning, and Knitting all this process can be done in india. This means we do not have to import Yarn and Cotton from China and will be able to compete with them in the international market for finished goods. •Using Waterways for Transportation As the cotton balls are purchased from Gujarat, and they are transported to Tirupur through roadways, which adds up drastically to the cost, to reduce it, the government can run a program to transport cotton through waterways which will decrease the cost to a reasonable extent.
