Industries to remain shut for a week in Coimbatore Updated: Updated: Share Article AAA Almost all industries in Coimbatore and Tiruppur districts will remain shut for one week from Monday because of complete lockdown in the State to control the pandemic. Just about 10 % of MSMEs in Coimbatore are in essential and healthcare sectors and only these will operate, said M.V. Ramesh Babu, president of Coimbatore District Small Industries Association. While the foundries in the MSME sector will not operate, the larger foundries are expected to decide individually. Spinning mills will not function as the government had not given permission even to those units that house the workers on the premises. Garment exporting units will also remain closed.
