The Tamil Nadu Footwear and Leather Products Policy 2022 has been designed with a clear vision to attract major investments and position the state as a global leader in leather and footwear manufacturing. The policy outlines a comprehensive framework to enhance the state’s competitiveness in the footwear and leather products sectors, focusing on fostering sustainability, innovation, and technological advancements. By offering a range of incentives and supportive measures, the Tamil Nadu government aims to attract both domestic and international investors looking to capitalize on the region’s robust infrastructure, skilled workforce, and strategic location.
The policy highlights several key objectives, including boosting exports, improving product quality, and increasing production capacity. By promoting eco-friendly production practices and encouraging the use of sustainable materials, the policy aligns with global trends demanding green manufacturing and ethically produced goods. It also seeks to establish advanced manufacturing hubs, create specialized footwear parks, and enhance R&D capabilities to foster innovation in design and production processes.
With a focus on generating employment, particularly in skilled labor and technical roles, the policy aims to create thousands of new jobs and further stimulate the state’s economy. As part of the policy’s implementation, Tamil Nadu is expected to see significant foreign direct investment (FDI), which will not only strengthen the local leather and footwear industries but also increase the state’s export share in global markets. The Footwear and Leather Products Policy 2022 marks a strategic initiative by the Tamil Nadu government to solidify the state’s position as a key global player in the leather industry, driving economic growth, job creation, and sustainability.
