In an ambitious move to boost its industrial sector, Karnataka has announced plans to establish a leather manufacturing hub in Tumakuru, a city located about 70 kilometers from Bengaluru. The proposed hub aims to capitalize on the growing demand for leather goods and footwear, providing significant economic benefits to the region and the state. This initiative is expected to create thousands of employment opportunities, particularly for local communities, by fostering the growth of leather-based industries.
The state government is focused on providing world-class infrastructure, including transportation links, skilled labor, and investment incentives to attract both national and international companies to set up operations in the Tumakuru region. The hub is expected to house modern leather production facilities, with a strong emphasis on sustainable manufacturing processes to meet global market demand for eco-friendly leather products. Additionally, the initiative aligns with Karnataka’s goal to enhance its industrial output and economic growth by diversifying its manufacturing base and reducing dependency on other sectors.
By promoting export-oriented growth, the leather manufacturing hub in Tumakuru could become a critical player in the global leather market, contributing significantly to exports and job creation. This project is set to position Karnataka as a key player in India’s leather industry, which continues to expand and innovate with new technologies and sustainable practices. The state’s strategic investment in Tumakuru’s leather hub underscores its commitment to industrial development and regional prosperity in the years ahead.
