India should aim to achieve more than $10 billion worth of leather
exports by 2025, Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal,
said on Wednesday.
Addressing an event of the Council for Leather
Exports (CLE), Goyal said: "I do feel very, very satisfied that you are
aspiring to grow to at least $10 billion by 2025, though this still
gives you only a growth rate of about 15-17 per cent. Whereas looking at
the potential of all of you, I think we can look at even more ambitious
targets."
According to Goyal, 'Kolhapuri Chappals' alone can achieve $1 billion of exports target.
Besides,
he appealed to the leather industry to be 'Aatmanirbhar'
(self-reliant), and not wait for the Centre to roll out schemes, allot
land at subsidised rates, or come out with a PLI scheme.
"All of these things, in my humble view, will hold back your progress," he said.
He
also assured all help from the Centre to the leather industry for
achieving the goals by setting up 'BIS Standards laboratories' in close
proximity to the leather clusters.
