- The Tiruppur Exporters Association has asked the Tamil Nadu government to include affordable worker housing and dormitory-style hostels in the proposed Industrial Policy 2026.
- The demand was made at a Textiles Sector Roundtable in Chennai held as part of consultations for the new policy.
- The association proposed worker accommodation parks in four industrial zones in Tiruppur with a first-phase capacity of one lakh workers, possibly under a public-private partnership model, along with a request to reallocate a Women's Hostel at Neruperichal.
- The industry says housing is critical because it faces a 20 per cent worker shortage, while FTAs with 38 countries are expected to boost apparel exports and create an additional two to three lakh jobs in the cluster.
- The association also sought capital subsidies for technology upgradation, a Technical Textiles and Centre of Excellence for Activewear, higher solar capacity limits, and green subsidies.
