摘要

Tirupur's NIFT-TEA College of Knitwear Fashion, AIC NIFT TEA Incubation Centre for Textiles and Apparels and Textile Excellence have signed a MOU to jointly organize the twin exhibitions - DyeChem World and Knit Process, in Tirupur, from October 22-24, 2021. The event will be held at NIFT-TEA College Compound SIDCO, Tirupur. SDC International India Pvt Ltd(SDC I) has also joined hands as a co-organizer. Tirupur, the knitwear capital of India, accounts for 60% of India's knitting, processing and apparel capacity and leads the path in re-starting textile and apparel business through the pandemic because of its resilience. The city alone accounted for exports of Rs 24,750 crore (approx. US$ 3.5 billion) knitwear in 2019-20 which was 46.50% of India's knitwear export basket. The Tirupur cluster has nearly sailed through the pandemic induced challenges with the help of government policy interventions; and is now turning to new investments. Strategic relook by retailers and brands on sourcing destinations after the pandemic, American embargo on knitwear made from Chinese cotton and currency exchange rate induced competitiveness brings a silver lining to Tirupur's next level of growth in capacity. By the next year, Tirupur's knitwear industry is set to cross Rs. 50,000 crore industry mark and in five years, Tirupur could double its a capacity and exports from its current size. It is to be noted that Tirupur's knitwear sector is investing in the latest high-end knitting, wet processing and garment technologies that complies with sustainable norms. Tirupur is among the first Indian apparel clusters to have invested in CETPs and environmental technologies for clean energy, chemical management and clean production practices. Almost all knitwear units in the cluster are linked to CETPs or have their own ETPs.
