With cost of inputs rising and exports disrupted, textile units in Perambalur take a hit

Textile manufacturing units in Perambalur district are facing a mounting pressure as raw material prices continue to surge amid the ongoing conflict in West Asia, triggering concerns over production cuts and financial strain.

Industry sources said the prices of key raw materials such as polyester fibre and synthetic yarn, largely derived from petroleum products, have increased sharply in recent weeks. The surge is linked to disruptions in crude oil supply and shipping routes in the Gulf region.
