- The leather industrial
sector comprises of tanneries (where raw hides and skins are
converted into leather) and factories converting leather into a
variety of consumer products such as footwear, garments and
outerwear, and assorted leather goods such as wallets, passport
cases, key chains, handbags and briefcases.
- Leather Industry
occupies a place of prominence in the Indian economy in view of its
massive potential for employment, growth and exports.
- The main production
centres for leather and leather products are the following: − Tamil
Nadu – Chennai, Ambur, Ranipet, Vaniyambadi, Trichy, Dindigul and
Puducherry − West Bengal – Kolkata
− Uttar Pradesh – Kanpur, Unnao, Banther, Agra and Noida − Punjab –
Jallandhar .Tamil Nadu accounts for about 40% of India’s exports and
has about 60% of tanning capacity.
- The Indian footwear
component industry which is the pride of India in terms of its
contribution to total leather exports is facing stiff competition
from China in a number of shoe components - cellulose insole
fabrics, coated, impregnated fabrics and interlinings, where the
price of the imported materials is between 40% and 50% lower than
the indigenously produced materials.
- Global players have
shown considerable interest in Indian leather sector and leading
leather brands from the US and Europe are sourcing leather and
leather products from India.
- In terms of policy
framework, since the trade policy of India has to align with the WTO
framework, the import duty on machinery and equipment, components,
consumables and even consumer products like shoes, bags, etc. has
been considerably reduced, including provision for duty free import
of capital goods against certain export obligations.
- One important policy
initiative taken by the government includes liberalization of the
leather sector. Government has de-reserved the manufacture of
various types of leather viz. semifinished leather, harness leather,
leather shoes etc., which are produced by small-scale sector.
