Tiruppur on Edge

The West Asia crisis is sending shockwaves through Tiruppur’s textile industry. Polyester prices have jumped nearly 20%, while dyes, chemicals, and coal costs have surged 30–35%, driving garment manufacturing costs up by 5%. Dyeing units are raising charges: ₹10/kg for light colours, ₹15/kg for medium, and ₹20/kg for dark shades. Open-end spinning mills, heavily reliant on polyester, face repeated price hikes, sometimes every two days. Energy costs and disrupted supplies compound the problem. Exporters warn passing the full increase to buyers is nearly impossible, putting pressure on profit margins. Industry leaders say these are unprecedented, challenging times.
