Guest workers are returning to Tiruppur, say exporters
The HinduWorkers from the northern States, who were employed at the garment export units in Tiruppur and went home in the last six months due to slowdown in orders, are returning to work, said Kumar Duraiswamy, joint secretary of the Tiruppur Exporters Association. While 50 % of the knitwear exports are from Tiruppur, the rest are distributed between West Bengal, Bengaluru, and Delhi and nearby areas. When exports from Tiruppur slowed down, affecting wages and work days for the migrant workers, many of them started going to their home towns. In the global market, the ports and warehouses of the buyers had huge inventory for more than a year after the COVID pandemic and the inventory started reducing during the last three months because of retail sales picking up, especially for the smaller retailers.
