Ludhiana knitting sector calls for permanent fix to MLU issue

Ludhiana’s knitting industry, a key contributor to Punjab’s textile output, has lodged a collective demand for a permanent solution to the MLU problem that has disrupted operations in recent weeks. Industry representatives met with local authorities to outline the economic impact of the unresolved issue, citing reduced output and job insecurity for workers. They emphasized that a swift, lasting resolution is essential to maintain Ludhiana’s position as a textile hub. Officials have acknowledged the concerns and indicated that discussions are underway to address the matter, though no concrete timeline has been announced. The sector remains vigilant, warning that prolonged uncertainty could affect supply chains across northern India.
