Coimbatore: Tirupur Exporters’ Association welcomed the government’s announcement to form a separate department for textiles, stating it would help focus more on the sector’s overall growth.

Ashwin Chandran, chairman, Southern India Mills’ Association (SIMA) said the textile sector had recorded an impressive growth in the past decade and given the business size, it was the right move to announce the separate directorate of textiles.

The government has also resolved to complete works on the three integrated textile parks in Tirupur, Kanchipuram and Erode at the earliest.

Chandran said the textile parks and SIPCOT facilities would attract huge investments across the value chain of the industry. He said this would create a win-win situation for the government and the industry, while lauding the move to set up new common effluent treatment plants for the processing units in Erode and Namakkal districts.
