Pallipalayam, 5 km from Erode bus station across the Kaveri, is a textile town of power-loom and auto-loom factories making greige, yarn-dyed, printed, poplin, voile and sheeting fabrics, plus lungis and dhotis.
Pallipalayam is a municipality in Namakkal district, on the opposite bank of the River Kaveri from Erode. It is about 6 km from Erode Junction and 5 km from Erode bus station, and is often called Erode's twin town.
Textile fabric and yarn manufacturing is the town's main industry. Factories use power looms and auto looms to weave yarn-dyed, greige, printed, linen, sheeting, voile, poplin, organic cotton and canvas fabrics. Spinning mills make 100% viscose and polyester-viscose yarn. The area is also known for dhotis and lungis.
Pallipalayam sits in the powerloom belt that runs through Erode, Komarapalayam and Tiruchengodu, which together have about 1.5 lakh power looms. Much of the cloth sold in Erode's markets is woven in these towns.
Pallipalayam suits garment makers, home-textile brands and wholesalers who want to buy fabric by the roll, or place weaving orders directly with mills. Bring fabric specifications: count, construction, width and GSM.
