Goyal Urges Leather Footwear Sector Toward 15 Billion Export Goal
Union Minister Piyush Goyal has called on India's leather and footwear industry to set its sights on $15 billion in exports within the next five to six years. The statement, aimed at manufacturers, exporters, and industry bodies across the sector, signals continued government focus on positioning India as a bigger player in global leather goods trade.
- Piyush Goyal has urged India's leather and footwear industry to target $15 billion in exports over the next 5-6 years.
- The call reflects government intent to accelerate growth and global competitiveness in this sector.
- Industry stakeholders are expected to align strategy around scaling production, quality, and market reach to meet this target.
The push for a $15 billion export target comes as part of broader efforts to strengthen India's manufacturing base and expand its footprint in international leather and footwear markets, according to DD India. Meeting such a target would require sustained investment across manufacturing capacity, design innovation, and compliance with international quality standards, all areas where India has been steadily building capability in recent years.
For an industry that spans everything from raw hide processing to finished footwear and accessories, an ambitious export goal like this typically translates into ripple effects across the supply chain, including sourcing, tanning, component manufacturing, and retail-facing production. Achieving this scale would also likely mean deeper integration with global fashion and retail buyers looking for reliable, quality-conscious manufacturing partners.
