The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade ( DPIIT) has granted Maharashtra an in-principal approval to establish a mega leather footwear and accessories cluster park in Ratwad, located in Raigad district.
The Mega Leather Footwear and Accessories Cluster Park will be set up over 151 acres and will serve as a hub for the leather industry collaboration, innovation and growth by integrating manufacturers, suppliers, designers and artisans.
Maharashtra is currently the 8th largest producer and exporter of leather goods in the country. The Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) alone contributes 21% of the nation’s leather exports, highlighting the state’s crucial role in the industry.
Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation, on behalf of the state, has submitted a proposal to develop the project. The Government of India will provide financial grants up to Rs 125 cr for this project.
