Tirupur to be included in Smart City project

The consultant for preparation of a Detailed Project Report was appointed by the government said M Ashokan, Corporation Commissioner. He added that the focus in Tirupur would be on underground sewerage scheme, improvement of water supply, e-governance, health and sanitation, increasing green cover and transportation, and some other parameters. Infrastructure needs would be minutely studied by the DPR before floating the final plan, said Corporation officials. Tirupur is going to be included under the Smart City project, as it is envisaged that it would propel the prowess of the knitwear industry, both in the global and the domestic markets. Industrialists in Tirupur knitwear cluster have welcomed this move.

The cluster is looking at Rs one lakh crore in turnover through garments sales, both to foreign and domestic markets by 2020, says M Veluswamy, Chairman of Confederation of Indian Industry (Tirupur district council). He added that infrastructure needs to grow exponentially to attain this, thus the funding for development of Tirupur as a ‘Smart City’ will be helpful.

The main requirements of the knit city include housing facilities for labourers, which could be constructed on a public-private partnership mode, ESI hospital for workers, development of ring roads to improve access to villages from where workers travel to the city and wifi facilities across the city. These were just some among others, cited by the knitwear entrepreneurs of Tirupur.
