The association seeks knitwear research institute in Tiruppur and a cargo terminal at Coimbatore.
Setting up a knitwear research institute in Tiruppur and a cargo terminal with international connectivity at Coimbatore airport, were some of the suggestions submitted by the Tiruppur Exporters’ Association, as part of proposals to revise the Tamil Nadu Textile Policy 2019.
The Association President K.M. Subramanian, in a meeting with the State Textiles Commissioner, urged the State government to address issues such as housing for labour, increasing the overtime cap for the apparel sector, upskilling existing workers, transportation subsidy to ferry workers to factories, bank Basel norms, and NPA classification.
He also urged the government to set up a permit for availing of the ATUF scheme subsidy, in addition to the State government capital subsidy.
