Explanation

Tirupur, located in Tamil Nadu, is globally recognized as the knitwear capital of India. It accounts for a major share of Indias total cotton knitwear exports. The city hosts a massive industrial cluster dedicated to the production of knitted garments, including t-shirts, innerwear, and sportswear, which are exported to leading international brands across the world. While other regions in India are famous for gems, leather, or handicrafts, Tirupur specifically dominates the textile sector focused on knitting.
