The Formation of Tiruppur District
In the 1990s, Tiruppur’s export industry grew rapidly, but the city’s infrastructure couldn’t keep up. Locals and industrialists called for a separate district to meet their needs. The Chief Minister supported this demand, and soon after, the Finance Minister announced the creation of Tiruppur District. On February 22, 2009, the new district was officially inaugurated, reorganizing Coimbatore and Erode into Coimbatore, Erode, and Tiruppur Districts, bringing administration closer to the people and supporting industrial growth.
