Subject is an old and established Company having moderate track. The
Company has not filed any financials with the Government department after
2005. The Management parted some general information but declined to part
with financial details. Trade relations are fair. Payments are reported as
slow but correct. In View of non-availability of latest financials it would be advisable
to deal with the Company with Slight Caution, Initially. |

FURTHER INFORMATION
India accounts for approximately two percent of the world trade in leather and leather products. To be on the fast track of growth and to have a larger cake in the international business, continuous technology up gradation and modernization are the most powerful driving forces like in any other manufacturing sector that dreams steady growth and expansion. The growing international demand apart, the action plan also suggested measures to face Indian leather's industry's major competitors in Asia: China, Indonesia, Korea and Taiwan.
To boost the country's leather industry, the Indian federal government has earmarked a Rs 4.5 billion (US$ 95 mn) grant to be made available to the industry over a span of five years but that's not without any string. The fund availability is conditional upon the sector's attracting an annual investment of Rs 2.2 trillion. In 2002, investments in the leather sector stood at Rs 410 million. Footwear and their components account for about 25 percent of India's total leather products exports. These two markets also offer Indian leather industry vast scope for exports of saddler and harness.
Besides the European market where Indian leather products already enjoy a strong presence, the US too is emerging as a very strong and promising export destination for Indian leather industry. US today accounts about 25 percent of a massive US$ 96 billion global trade in leather and leather products. The importance of European market could be gauged by the fact three major EU countries-Germany, Italy and UK- today accounts for approximately 42-45 percent of leather and leather products exports from India. T
With about 40% of production being exported, the Indian leather industry accounted for around 3% of total exports from India in 2004-05. Leather footwear is the largest exported product among different categories of leather exports. Footwear is a critical segment, as this is expected to be the engine of growth for the Indian leather industry.
The world leather industry is in the process of shifting its manufacturing base from developed to developing countries. This presents an opportunity for increased flow of foreign direct investment into India. Against such scenario, factors such as abundance of leather, increasing awareness for quality, production know-how and designing capabilities, work India's favour. Increasing presence of large corporate houses in this sector would help enhance the investments required, and thereby the competitiveness in international markets.
India is the second largest footwear producer in the world. It accounts for 20 percent of India's total export of leather and leather products. Major markets include the UK, USA, Germany, Italy, France, Netherlands, Canada, Sweden and Russia. Of total exports of footwear from India, around 64 percent goes to UK, USA and Germany.
Indian leather industry has capacity to produce l776 million pairs; 112 million pairs of Shoe Uppers; Non-leather footwear - 960 million pairs of non-leather footwear's which includes shoes made of rubber, molded PVC and other material.
The lowering of value addition norms under the DFRC Scheme from 33% to 25%would benefit the exporters and the industry feels that extending the benefit of the scheme to deem export is a right step encouraging the domestic suppliers of raw materials and inputs to the exporters. CLE is of the view that the duty free import entitlement benefit extended as a premium to the status holders achieving higher growth rate of more than 25% in FOB value of export in free foreign exchange, will encourage the status holders towards attainment of the incremental performance. As per the revised new EXIM Policy it would help achieve the US$ 2.6 billion target to be achieved by 2007-08.
According to DGCI&S provisional estimate, India's leather and leather products exports in fiscal 2002-03 stood at US$ 1.81 billion signifying 6.30 percent decline from previous fiscals total exports of US$ 1.93 bn. While leather and leather footwear exports showed positive growth, exports of footwear component registered negative growth. Exports of leather in fiscal 2002-03 grew by 6.24 percent at US$ 487.91 million from US$ 459.25 mn in fiscal 2001-02. Leather footwear exports were up 3.61 percent at US$ 409.67 mn against US$ 395.39 mn in 2001-02. However, exports of footwear component in 2002-03 dropped by over 26 percent to US$ 171.43 mn from US$ 233.94 mn in 2001-02.
The Indian leather industry occupies a place of prominence in the country's economy in view of its massive potential for employment, growth and exports. There has been increasing emphasis on its planned development, aimed at optimum utilisation of available raw materials for maximising the returns, particularly from exports.
