Want to create 75 Tiruppurs across India: Goyal

"If each one of them (textile hub) starts producing ₹50,000 crore worth of textile products, (then) each of them starts providing employment to lakhs of young boys and girls. Of course we will also bring modern technology and do sustainable garment manufacturing. We will learn from the experience of Tiruppur," Goyal said.

Tiruppur is a major textile centre and is home to 10,000 garment manufacturing hubs, employing over 600,000 workers.
