To encourage and boost the textile industry in Tamil Nadu, the state government will organise an international textile fair at Codissia Trade Fair Complex, Coimbatore this year. This was announced by chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami. The government would spend Rs 2 crore in organising this event. Tiruppur Exporters’ Association (TEA) president Raja M Shanmugham stated that Tamil Nadu is a major player in the country’s textile value chain, so organizing the international textile fair would largely help in promotion of the industry, including exports.
He further added the fair will help in increasing exports as the textile industry in Tamil Nadu is exporting about Rs 45,000 crore worth of goods annually. The textile industry will get an opportunity to showcase quality products and penetrate new markets and also get new buyers.
