Tiruppur

Tiruppur is India's knitwear capital, a textile town that exports more cotton T-shirts and hosiery than anywhere else in the country, supplying global clothing brands from thousands of small and mid-sized factories packed into its industrial estates. Locals call it Banian City, after the undershirts that built the first wave of the industry decades before exports took off. The Noyyal River runs through town, and its water, once heavily polluted by dyeing units, has been the focus of a long cleanup effort tied to the industry's growth. Tiruppur's wealth shows in its bustling markets and constant construction, a boomtown feel unusual for a city its size.
