Tiruppur’s textile exporters are optimistic that the recently concluded India–US trade agreement will trigger a wave of investments, boost exports, and create large-scale employment in the region, according to the Tiruppur Exporters Association (TEA).

TEA General Secretary Thiru Kumaran said the pact marks a turning point for India’s textile industry and positions Tiruppur as a major beneficiary of expanded access to the US market. He noted that the deal has strengthened global confidence in Indian textiles and is likely to attract new buyers, long-term contracts, and foreign investment.

Kumaran also highlighted the expected European Union–India Free Trade Agreement (FTA), likely to come into effect later this year, as another key development that could further elevate India’s textile exports. He said that together, both trade agreements could significantly reshape the sector’s growth trajectory.

“With the India–US deal and the upcoming India–EU FTA, the textile industry is set for unprecedented expansion. Tiruppur, in particular, is likely to see strong demand, increased production, and higher revenues. We are confident of doubling our turnover within the next year,” Kumaran said.

Industry experts estimate that India’s overall textile exports currently stand at around $16 billion, while Tiruppur alone contributes approximately $5.2 billion. TEA expects both figures to double within the next three years, driven by stronger global demand, improved trade terms, and better market access.

The association believes that this growth will encourage fresh investments in manufacturing, technology upgrades, and sustainable production, while also generating thousands of new jobs across the textile value chain.

Kumaran also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, and Textiles Minister Giriraj Singh for advancing the trade agreements. He further appreciated Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s Union Budget, saying that policy incentives and financial support would accelerate export-led growth and strengthen India’s position as a global textile hub.
