[6]Tiruppur or Tirupur ([t̪ɪɾɨppuːr] Tirupur.ogg) is a city in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.[7] Tiruppur is the administrative headquarters of Tiruppur district and the fifth largest city as well as an urban agglomeration in Tamil Nadu.[8] Located on the banks of Noyyal River, it has been ruled at different times, by the Early Pandyas, Medieval Cholas, Later Cholas, Mysore Kingdom and also British. It is about 450 kilometres (280 mi) southwest of the state capital Chennai, about 50 kilometres (31 mi) east of Coimbatore, 50 kilometres (31 mi) south of Erode, and 50 kilometres (31 mi) north of Dharapuram.

Tiruppur is administered by municipal corporation which was established in 2008 and the total area of the corporation is 159.6 km2 divided into 60 wards. The total population of the city as per the 2011 census is 877,778. Tiruppur is a part of the Tiruppur constituency that elects its member of parliament.

Tiruppur is a major textile and knit wear hub contributing to 90% of total cotton knit wear exports from India.[9] The textile industry provides employment to over six lakh people and contributed to exports worth 200 billion (US$2.4 billion) in 2014–15.[10][11] According to the 360 ONE Wealth Hurun India rich list 2023 ,Tirupur is among the top 20 cities in India to have highest number of billionaires over a net worth of 1000 crores.[6]

Etymology

The name Tiruppur is said to have emerged during the Mahabharata era. According to legends, the cattle herds of Pandavas were stolen by thieves and the same was recaptured by Arjuna's forces resulting in the name "Thiruppur" (Thiruppu meaning "to turn" and oor meaning "a place" in Tamil) meaning "place where they were returned".[12]

History

Tiruppur formed a part of the Kongu Nadu region ruled by the Cheras during Sangam period.[13][14] The region was part of a prominent Roman trade route that connected east and west coasts of India.[15][16] The medieval Cholas conquered the Kongu Nadu in the tenth century CE and Chola stone carvings mention Kanchi Maanadhi (Noyyal River) and the fertile sand that it deposited on its banks.[17][18][19]

The region came under the rule of the Vijayanagara Empire by the 15th century and later Palayakkarars, the chieftains of Madurai Nayaks ruled the region.[20] In the later part of the 18th century, the region came under the Kingdom of Mysore, following a series of wars with the Madurai Nayak Dynasty. After the defeat of Tipu Sultan in the Anglo-Mysore Wars, the British East India Company annexed the region into the Madras Presidency in 1799.

Tiruppur was an agricultural town with irrigated farms and the farmers became small owners of various textile related units during the 1970s. The boom in the textile industry led to an inter woven network of the small scale units leading to growth of the city into a major textile hub.[21] Tiruppur became a municipal corporation in 2008 and a separate Tiruppur district was carved out from parts of Coimbatore district and Erode district in 2009.[22]

Thiruppur has two assembly constituencies Tiruppur North and Tiruppur South. Tiruppur is part of Tiruppur Lok Sabha constituency which was created during the delimination in 2008 consisting parts of erstwhile Coimbatore, Gobichettipalayam and Palani constituencies.[37]

Economy

Tiruppur is also known as the knitwear capital of India, accounting for 90% of India's cotton knitwear export.[38] It has spurred up the textile industry in India for the past three decades. It contributes to a huge amount of foreign exchange in India. In the fiscal year 2013, exports were 17,500 crores.[39] The city provides employment for many workers, with the average salary per worker being around 9,000 per month.[39]

There are over 10,000 garment manufacturing industries in Tiruppur, employing over 600,000 people. The cluster on an average exports textiles worth ₹ 25 billion a month. Cotton knitwear sent from here are in much demand in European countries.[40]

Special industrial parks have been developed to support the textile industry. Nethaji Apparel Park, Thirupur Export Knitwear Industrial Complex, SIDCO Industrial Estate and J.S.Apparel Park are a few that are operational. Nethaji Apparel Park[41] has 53 companies manufacturing knitwear for exports.[42][43] The NAP presently provides employment to 15,000 people and generates export revenue of ₹ 15 billion from the apparel produced in it.[44][45][46] Tirupur Export Knitwear Industrial Complex was established in 1992 and has 189 sheds built over a 4200 square feet area.[38] Some of the world's largest retailers including C&A, Nike, Walmart, Primark, Adidas, Switcher, Polo Ralph Lauren, Diesel, Tommy Hilfiger, M&S, FILA, H&M, and Reebok import textiles and clothing from Tiruppur.[47][48]

Apart from knitwear production units, Tiruppur is famous for the production of brass, copper, and aluminium utensils for kitchen and hotel needs. Anupparpalayam locality in Tiruppur has been involved in this business. Manufactured products are supplied throughout Tamil Nadu and the nearby states of Andhra Pradesh, Pondicherry, Karnataka and Kerala. Tiruppur is one of the fastest-growing cities in India, with a rate of 8.36 per year.[citation needed]

Welfare

Tiruppur has a good educational infrastructure. The city itself has only a few engineering colleges, but the proximal areas and nearby cities of Coimbatore and Erode augurs well. There are 7 government hospitals at the taluk level with a total number of 896 beds and a total of 43 primary health centers[49] in the rural areas[50][51]

Environmental issues

Tiruppur, like any other industrial town, faces its share of environmental pollution complaints.[52][53] As per the directive of Madras High Court,[54] zero liquid discharge (ZLD) should be strictly followed in Tiruppur knitwear cluster during the effluent treatment process. Failure to implement this order, led to a court ordered closure of all dyeing units and bleaching units.[55] In turn, Tirupur Exporters Association made a representation to the Government that export revenues of 11 billion were lost and about 100,000 labourers lost their job due to a closure of dyeing units in Tirupur.[56][57]

As per a report by CRISIL, prepared in February 2011, ensuring Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD), will primarily affect the operational costs of dyeing and bleaching units, increasing it by 7% to 10%.[58] Eventually, by complying with the above order, Tiruppur became the first textile cluster in India to achieve Zero Liquid Discharge in their units.[59] Both the Common Effluent Treatment Plant and Individual Effluent Treatment Plant are in place to treat effluents.[60][61] Farmers in Tiruppur and its hinterland, who have faced the brunt of the indiscriminate discharge of industrial effluents into the water bodies for the past many decades, are yet again becoming concerned.[62] Untreated effluents, mostly containing dyes and chemicals in high concentration, are now seen let off clandestinely once again in large quantities through storm water drains into water bodies or into open areas with the discharge mostly happening during the early morning hours or during rain.[62][63]
