Key Activities
In 2021, TIDGMA unanimously decided to raise garment piece rates by 25% from November 5, due to 25-50% hikes in yarn, dyeing, knitting, and wages, plus scarcities in supplies like lycra and packaging. The move aimed to balance escalating costs while urging customers to support domestic producers.
Recent Industry Context
As of May 2025, TIDGMA's secretary highlighted benefits from restrictions on Bangladesh garment imports via land ports, which previously undercut local prices through tax advantages and lower costs. This shift via seaports is expected to boost Tirupur's domestic output, stagnant around Rs 30,000 crore for years.
