About Tirupathur District
Welcome to Tirupathur, a highly dynamic and rapidly emerging district nestled in northern Tamil Nadu, famously celebrated as a premier powerhouse for leather and agarbathi manufacturing. Officially inaugurated on November 28, 2019, after being strategically trifurcated from the colossal Vellore district, Tirupathur spans a beautifully connected area of 1,831.99 square kilometers. Home to a bustling population of nearly 1.3 million, the district is incredibly rich in mineral deposits and boasts seamless national highway connectivity linking major southern capitals like Bangalore and Chennai. From the world-class leather export industries massively thriving in Vaniyambadi and Ambur, to the phenomenally extensive raw agarbatti production units driving the rural economy, Tirupathur perfectly balances its newly formed administrative identity with a spectacular, globally recognized industrial footprint.

The Leather Industry Titan
Tirupathur is a phenomenal titan in the leather sector, specifically anchored by the booming hubs of Vaniyambadi and Ambur. These towns host a massive number of large and medium-scale industries producing world-class finished leather, highly sought-after shoes, and premium garments for international export.
Agarbathi Manufacturing Hub
The district is an absolute powerhouse for agarbathi (incense) manufacturing. Functioning as a massive rural economic engine, nearly every village in blocks like Alangayam, Natrampalli, and Jolarpet features active raw production units, contributing phenomenally to both Tamil Nadu’s and India’s entire supply chain.
Historic 2019 Trifurcation
Tirupathur embarked on its exciting independent journey very recently. Proposed in August 2019 and officially inaugurated in November 2019 alongside Ranipet, the district was masterfully carved out of the mammoth Vellore district to massively enhance focused administrative efficiency and local development.
