Q79 (IAS/2005) Geography › Indian Economic Geography › Industrial geography India Answer Verified

For which one of the following items, is Tirupur well-known as a huge exporter to many parts of the world?

Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

Tirupur is internationally famed for its knitwear and is often called the country’s knitwear/export hub or “T‑shirt City.” It accounts for a very large share of India’s cotton knitwear exports and records multi-thousand crore export earnings (e.g., over Rs. 33,000–34,000 crore in recent years), highlighting its central role in global knit garment shipments [1]. The cluster comprises thousands of units across the knitting, garmenting and processing value chain, providing substantial employment and contributing a significant portion of India’s garment exports, which underlines Tirupur’s identity as a major exporter of knitted garments rather than gems, leather or handicrafts [2].
