Winners and runners-up, 2011–2026
2011, 2016 and 2021 rows: checked against the ECI detailed results. Earlier rows: secondary sources. Two-part pill: alliance leader first, then the candidate's party.
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 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.
