The Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) apparel industry takes a hit owing to the COVID-19 third wave
28 January 2022, Mumbai:
The Uttar Pradesh garment industry has suffered heavy losses due to the third COVID-19 wave. The garment industry in Noida and Kanpur in particular reported a 40 percent slump in production and a considerable drop in export.
The garment industry in these two cities had been showing signs of recovery from November 2021 onwards after a successive slowdown of two years, when the third COVID wave hit in January.
As per a Textile Value Chain report, there are over 10,000 textile and garment units across the state with most of them located in the Kanpur and the Noida region. The Noida region alone houses around 3000 textile units and each unit has a minimum workforce of around 100 employees.
Nearly all of them are facing a financial crisis as foreign buyers are reluctant to place orders. They are apprehensive about the capacity of these textile and garment units to fulfill the orders due to the prevailing COVID-19 conditions.
