MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 
 Macroeconomic Overview: 

 
 Vigorous growth with strong macroeconomic fundamentals has characterized developments in the Indian economy in 2006-07 so far. However, there are some genuine concerns on the inflation front. Growth of 9.0 per cent and 9.2 per cent in 2005-06 and 2006-07, respectively, by most accounts, surpassed expectations. While the up-and-down pattern in agriculture continued with growth estimated at 6.0 per cent and 2.7 per cent in the two recent years, and services maintained its vigorous growth performance.

 

Entrenchment of the higher growth trends, particularly in manufacturing, has boosted sentiments, both within the country and abroad. The overall macroeconomic fundamentals are robust, particularly with tangible progress towards fiscal consolidation and a strong balance of payments position.

 

There were distinct signs of sustained improvements on the industrial front. Growth of industrial sector, from a low of 2.7 per cent in 2001-02, revived to 7.1 per cent and 7.4 per cent in 2002-03 and 2003-04, respectively, and after accelerating to over 9.5 per cent in the next two years, touched 10.0 per cent in 2006-07. 

 
A notable feature of the current growth phase is the sharp rise in the rate of investment in the economy. Investment, in general being a forward looking variable, reflects a high degree of business optimism. The revival in gross domestic capital formation (GDCF) that commenced in 2002-03 has been followed by a sharp rise in the rate of investment in the economy for four consecutive years. This sharp increase in the investment rate has sustained the industrial performance and reinforces the outlook for growth.

 
 
 India's exports (in US dollar terms and customs basis) have been growing at a high rate of more than 20 per cent since 2002-03. During 2005-06, with growth of 23.4 per cent, India's exports crossed the US$100 billion mark.

 

During 2006-07, after a slow start, exports gained momentum to grow by an estimated 36.3 per cent in the first nine months to reach US$89.5 billion.

 

Buoyancy of exports was driven by the resurgence in the manufacturing sector and sustained demand from major trading partners. 

 
Industry Structure and Developments: 

 
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 Andra Pradesh. The leather industry is mainly concentrated in small and medium sector. 

 
The composition of export of leather and leather products from India has undergone a structural change during the last three decade, from merely an exporter of raw materials in the sixties to that of value added finished products in the nineties. The value added finished products presently constitute around 80% of total export from the industry, which was mere 7% in 1956-57.

 

Realizing the growth potential of the leather industry, the Government of India has been making significant efforts to promote rapid advancement of the industry. On june 30, 2005, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) decided to implement a Rs. 2.9 billion scheme for the integrated development of the leather sector. Under this scheme, existing tanneries are being modernized and new units are being set up for footwear, components and leather products. This scheme is resulting in gains in terms of productivity, right-sizing of capacity, cost-cutting, and design-development. 


Opportunities and Threats: 

 

Council for Leather Exports introduced a vision document for 2010-11 which was presented to Hon'ble Minister of State, Commerce and Industry, Govt. of India with the object to analyze the growth pattern of leather exports and formulate intervention strategies with and object to enhance the exports to $ 7 Billion by 2010-11 from the present export at USD 2.39 Billion by creating additional one million jobs in the sector. Council estimated 42% of value as additional exports is required to meet the target of USD 7 Billion. To achieve the target, major growth is required in Footwear i.e.

 

25%, Finished Leather i.e. 14%, Garments i.e. 12% and Leather Goods i.e.

 

18%. Council has also estimated requirement of finished leather is 4 Billion Sq. ft. out of 2 Billion Sq. Ft. is available at present for achieving the USD 7 Billion export target.
