DIPP to ensure domestic leather promotion

The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), as a part of the Make in India campaign, will monitor the government order to ensure promotion of domestically produced leather goods such as bags and shoes. The government has instructed ministries, departments, public sector units, and defense forces to preferably use domestically produced leather ware. DIPP will be the nodal ministry to enforce this.

E-tenders must give preferential treatment to domestic leather including footwear and accessories. This directive is designed to encourage leather production in India and reduce the need for imports. Now government departments will have quotas that they have to meet for the percentage of domestically produced leather they use.

For footwear, up to 70 per cent minimum local content will be required for combat boots, safety shoes, footwear components, and sports footwear with synthetic uppers and leather uppers. A 60 per cent local content minimum has been set for other leather items including gloves and travel accessories. This government initiative aims to increase the domestic production of leather accessories in India.
