Tirupur Exporters Association (TEA) officials held a meeting with Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Suresh Prabhu in New Delhi on September 27.
The officials submitted a memorandum to the Minister asking him to look into the issues related to exports, including GST implications.
According to TEA President Raja M Shanmugham, if Government fails to address the export-related issues, the exporters may lose their buyers.
The Minister, however, has given the trade association an assurance on the matter raised and also spoke about releasing a special package to bail out the exporting units from the crisis.
Prabhu also informed TEA about his upcoming visit to the knitwear hub of India to check the ground realities.
Furthermore, the TEA President also met the Commerce Secretary Rita Teaotia who also assured support for the sustenance of exports.
A meeting between TEA officials and Santosh Kumar Gangwar, Union Minister of State for Labour and Employment was also held in the capital where they discussed the construction of an ESI Hospital in Tirupur for the garment workers.
