India Leather Exports: FY26 Mein Stable Rahne Ka Andaaza, EU Deal Se Mili Badi Rahat!
Overview

Sun rahe ho? India ka leather aur footwear industry is saal bhi export mein apni dum dikhane wala hai. Lagbhag $5.25 billion se $5.5 billion tak ka export expect kar rahe hain, jo pichle saal ke $5.6 billion ke aas paas hi hai. Ye resilience dikha rahe hain US ke badhte tariffs ke beech bhi. Iska sabse bada reason hai EU ke saath naya Free Trade Agreement (FTA), jiske baad EU jaise bade market mein zero import duties lagengi. Isse sector ka target hai 2030 tak $14 billion ka export karna.

EU Trade Deal: Game Changer!

Ye jo EU ke saath naya Free Trade Agreement (FTA) hua hai na, ye hamare leather sector ke liye ekdum game changer sabit ho sakta hai. Asal mein, EU hamara sabse bada export market hai, kareeb 43% export wahi jaata hai. Ab is deal ke baad, wahan bahut saare leather aur footwear products par zero import duty lagegi. Socho, kitna fayda hoga Indian manufacturers ko! Isi wajah se CLE (Council for Leather Exports) ka kehna hai ki hum 2030 tak $14 billion ka export target easily achieve kar lenge. R Selvam, Executive Director of CLE ne bhi is baat par zor diya hai.

US Tariffs ko Bhi Diya Maat!

Waise, pichle kuch time se US ke tariffs lag rahe the, jo August 2023 mein aaye the aur kaafi pressure daal rahe the. Lekin hamara sector bada mazboot nikla! November tak bhi export mein 1% ka growth maintain kiya. Ye kaise hua? Government ne bhi support kiya aur humne apna focus dusre markets par bhi shift kiya, jaise UK, Russia, Europe ke aur deshon aur Far East ke regions mein. Isse US tariffs ka impact kafi kam ho gaya.

Policy Support Se Banega Aur Mazboot

Ab sirf export hi nahi, sector ko aur bhi mazboot banane ke liye CLE ne government se ek special policy support manga hai, jise 'Focus Product Scheme' kehte hain. Agar ye scheme poore footwear aur leather sector par laagu ho jaye, toh ye hamare desh mein production ko aur badhayega. Isse hum 2030 tak total turnover $50 billion tak pahunch sakte hain – jismein $36 billion desh ke andar sales aur $14 billion export se aayenge. Current 2024-25 mein turnover $24.6 billion tha, jisme $19 billion domestic aur $5.6 billion export se aaye.

Tamil Nadu Mein Investment Aur Jobs Ka Dhamaka

Aur ek achhi khabar ye hai ki Tamil Nadu, jo leather manufacturing ka bada hub hai, wahan ₹12,000 crore ka naya investment aa raha hai aur expansion ho raha hai. Isse lagbhag 1.35 lakh logon ko naukri bhi milegi. Ye dikhata hai ki sector kitna important hai us region ke liye.

Aage Kya Hai? India International Leather Fair!

Aage kya hone wala hai, ye dekhne ke liye Chennai mein 1 se 3 February 2026 ko India International Leather Fair ho rahi hai. Wahan 425 Indian aur 67 international exhibitors aayenge. Ye ekdum perfect platform hai naye business aur collaborations ke liye.
