Tirupur textile manufacturers to decentralize operations

  

Textile manufacturers and exporters in Tirupur plan to decentralize by setting up textile parks in other districts. Manufacturers say, this would cut production costs by about 10 per cent. The first such park will be set up by the Tirupur Exporters’ and Manufacturers’ Association (TEMA) in Vedaranyam taluk of Nagapattinam. TEMA will set up similar parks in Ramanathapuram, Tiruvannamalai, Tirunelveli, Tenkasi and Tuticorin districts in future.

The Vedaranyam Textile Park would be spread over 50 acre and set up at a cost of Rs 120 crore, of which 67 per cent would be central and state government subsidies. Around 36 exporters and manufacturers would set up their units in this park, which would employ 7,000 people. The park will have cutting, sewing, packing and dispatching units. A skill development centre for workers and creche for their children will also be set up. The project has been approved by the state government and it will commence in December.

According to Banupriya Sentilkumar, the project will help the industry save 10 per cent of accommodation and transport costs of workers.
