'Metal Town' seeks a boost to revive its vessel industry
The New Indian Express Dharmapuri
|June 11, 2025
THE lustre of 'Metal Town' in Tiruppur, a prominent centre for production of metal vessels in the state, is fading owing to a labour shortage in the industry.
Anuparpalayam, once home to over 10,000 skilled hands crafting gleaming silver, brass, and copper vessels, is now losing its sheen as the younger generation is choosing the knitwear industry over metal production which pays little and offers no security or benefits.
Sources said vessels are sent to various parts of the state and nearby states too. Existing workers want their needs attended to and when TNIE visited the workplaces and spoke to workers, they raised their varied demands, ranging from better pay to power tariff concessions.
