With this new capacity the garment revenue has increased by 34 per cent during the year.

According to the company, with the consumerism and disposable income on the rise, the Indian Textile and Apparel sector has experienced a swift growth in the past few years with several international players having entered Indian market.

The Tirupur knitwear industry has grown considerably in exports to Rs 21,000 crore in 2014-15 from Rs 18,000 crore in 2013-14, up by 15.5 per cent.
