Coimbatore:The Diwali season has given the textile industry much to rejoice as crowds in Coimbatore district throng shopping areas after two years of a business lull since the Covid-19 pandemic.
The tradition of buying new clothes during Diwali season has boosted domestic textile sales.
The Indian Tex Federation (ITF), Convenor, Prabhu Damodaran said, "On the occasion of Diwali this year, the sale of textile products has increased in the state as well as the country. Women and children who were disinterested on purchase of clothes due to the pandemic are now keen on making mass purchases. This results in a large sale of fashion garments in the category.
Similarly, office goers have resumed working at their offices which has subsequently increased the sale of formal and casual clothes. The work-from-home attire like t-shirts and shorts sale has declined. On the whole, this festive season has achieved good growth in the Indian domestic textile industry. All the industries in the textile industry chain are happy with this,” added Prabhu Damodaran.
