The Rs600-crore KG Group of Companies is planning to hawk its garments online through its new website Trigger.com. The e-commerce venture is likely to be in place by January. Although the group is not expecting any major business through the venture, transactions are likely to pick up over a period of few years once the e-commerce law is finalised, KG Denim Ltd business head Dilip R Soman said.

The company would offer popular brands like Trigger and Trevi and a host of other garments through the Net. Details are being worked out and this would help the company retain its status as a major brand.

Meanwhile, the company launched its Trigger Softwear jeans in Bangalore on Thursday. The Softwear range is priced at Rs 600 and come in a range of colours.
