INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS :-

There has been increasing emphasis on its planned development, aimed at optimal utilization of available raw materials for maximizing the returns, particularly from exports. The leather industry is spread in different segments, namely, Finished Leather Footwear, Footwear Components, Leather Garments and Leather Goods including Bags, Saddlery, Harness and Leather Gloves etc. The major production centers for leather and leather products are located at Chennai, Ambur, Ranipat, Vaniyambadi, Trichi and Dindigul in Tamilnadu, Kolkata in West Bangal, Kanpur, Unnao and Agra in Uttar Pradesh, Jalandhar in Punjab, Bangalore in Karnataka, Mumbai in Maharashtra and Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh. The leather industry is mainly concentrated in small and medium sector.

 

Highly sophisticated infrastructure is available to the industry. The leather industry is enjoying the facilities of International Airports, well equipped Seaports and well placed Communication Network. The leather industry is one of the major foreign exchange earners of the country recorded significant growth since the beginning of the decade. During 1994-95 the export of leather and leather goods from India was US$1626.16 million which has been increased to US$ 2694.59 million during 2005-06. Against the export target of USD 2675 million for 2005-06, the achievement was USD 2695 million, hence achievement was 101% of export targets.

 

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

 

India is the largest livestock holding country having 21% large and 11% small animals of the World's animals. The annual availability of 65 million hides and 170 million skins is main strength of the industry. Some of the Goat/Calf/Sheep skins available in India are regarded as speciality products commanding a premium market. India is catering need of 10% of global leather requirement. Abundance of traditional skills in tanning, finishing and manufacturing downstream products and relatively low wage rates are also important comparative advantage for India. We are also having sufficient effluent disposal systems. European commission has imposed an anti-dumping duty @ 20% on the Fashion Shoes exported by the China. This step will provide the positive thrust to the Indian exporters of Fashion Shoes. The opportunities to export to Italy, U.K., Spain, Netherlands, Australia, Denmark, Canada, Switzerland, Belgium, Portugal and China are being increasing with tremendous rate. India has also been accorded the Focus Country Status at the recently concluded Expo Riva Sehuh Fair. The current industrial policy is very conducive to the promotion of the Indian leather industry both in terms of domestic trade as well as exports. Integrated tannery for conversion of raw hides and skins into finished leather has been de-licensed. The policy allowed free import of raw hides, skins, semi-finished and finished leather. Concessional duty imposed on imported machineries and chemicals. The government has increased the drawback on the export of leather and leather products. The exporters are also awarded with the focus products license on the export made by them. The major threat to the Indian industry and to the Company is posed by the aggressive increase of the production capacities by the Chinese and Vietnamese manufacturers, who with their large infrastructure have a cost advantage. The Company is handling this threat with value additions in design and developments.
