Abstract
India is the world’s second-largest textile producer (after China) is diversified and capable of producing wide variety of textiles. The spinning segment is fairly modernized and competitive, accounting for about 20 percent of world cotton yarn exports. The readymade garment industry especially Tirupur is one of the Export Promotion Zones of India and the area has a lot of industrial clusters. All types of manufacturing units’ i.e., micro, small, medium and large scale industrial units are running in this area. More concessions and export promotion measures have been announced and implanted by the government to promote the exports from this area.200 sample firms from the Micro, Small and Medium sector were selected for this study as per the convenient sampling method. The present research work identifies the problems in every nook and corner of exporting the readymade garments. Particularly, receipt of foreign orders directly from the parties, bank finance, availing the incentives/ subsides and heavy operating expenses are the immediate problems to the export firms. So, it is concluded that the micro, small and medium firms, engaged in export of readymade garments in Tirupur should be given adequate supporting measures by the government as early as possible.
