Already more than 5,000 merchants have booked stalls in the TexValley.

Texvalley aims at offering a platform for textile merchants who are presently doing their business in the weekly shandies in three locations in the city.

The integrated marketing facility would provide adequate opportunities for the textile industries in this part of the State to market their products effectively. The complex would primarily benefit the small and medium textile manufacturers and traders, as it would bring in all the weekly markets in Erode under a single roof.
