Tirupur garment units may not resume work before May 6 over scrutiny issues

District admin portal being updated, go-ahead only for for exporting units, buying offices, export offices and export-related job work units

Tirupur garment units, which do business worth Rs 50,000 crore, are unlikely to resume production on Tuesday as applications for reopening factories are still pending with the district administration. 

The district administration said that factories in rural areas can apply for permission and start work according to the Tamil Nadu government guidelines. 

Factories falling under corporation limit need to apply online. The application will be first scrutinised by a designated officer, then the factory will be inspected to ensure that it is prepared to follow the guidelines, and then permission will be granted.
