LPG doubles to ₹4,000 in Tiruppur
Dr. A Sakthivel from AEPC shared that nearly 5,000 units in Tiruppur are struggling as commercial LPG prices have doubled to ₹4,000, disrupting dyeing and processing work.
Yarn costs have jumped 20% to 25%, while container shipping to places like the US now costs three times more, putting extra pressure on exporters who are calling for relief on cotton import duties.
The rising expenses are especially tough on smaller MSMEs and migrant workers who rely on affordable fuel.
Their struggles highlight how global conflicts can quickly shake up local economies, even those far from the headlines.
