Past results
Verified winners and runners-up across the last five elections, with the major alliance partners each side fielded.
Tiruppur North was created in the 2008 delimitation, so no pre-2008 row applies. AIADMK held it across all three pre-2026 contests (Anandan in 2011 by 73,271 votes, then Vijayakumar in 2016 and 2021) before TVK's 69,992-vote 2026 sweep.
About Tiruppur North
Tiruppur (North) — AC 113 — covers the northern half of Tiruppur city, India's knitwear capital and the country's single biggest cotton T-shirt and innerwear export hub. Mills along the Noyyal river built the trade from the 1970s onward, and 'Banian City' now ships to Walmart, H&M and Decathlon. The seat takes in the Avinashi road industrial corridor and old-town landmarks like the Tiruppur Mariamman temple. The 8th-century Avinashi Lingeswarar temple, a key Tevaram padal-petra-sthalam, sits 15 km out on the Coimbatore highway. Dyeing-unit effluent and Noyyal restoration have been live local issues since the 2011 Madras HC order.
Tiruppur & the Banian City
Tiruppur North is the engine room of India's T-shirt trade — Avinashi Road lined with knitwear units that ship half the country's cotton innerwear. Stop at Tiruppur Mariamman in the old quarter, then drive 15 km to Avinashi Lingeswarar, an 8th-century Tevaram shrine. Loop back via the Noyyal riverfront and a Kongu meals plate of pirandai thuvayal and ennai kathirikai.
