Textile trade in Tiruppur

Tiruppur in Tamil Nadu is India's best-known knitwear town. Its factories make T-shirts, innerwear and kidswear for Indian brands and for export.

Besides export work, many units sell surplus and ready stock to local wholesalers. This makes Tiruppur a good place for retailers who want knitwear at factory-linked prices.

Tiruppur works on two tracks. The export side makes garments to order for brands. The local side sells ready and surplus goods in markets such as Khaderpet and Kumaran Road.

For small and medium retailers, the local side is where you will do most of your buying. Export surplus and leftover stock can be good value, but quality varies, so check pieces closely.
