The leather industry is one of the major foreign exchange earners to the country. India exported around USD 6bn of leather and associated products in 2014. The exports have grown at a rapid pace achieving annual growth of around 9 per cent over last 4 years.To increase the export competitiveness of Indian manufactured leather and leather products, building leather cluster near ports would reduce the transportation costs involved in product exports. Additionally most of the chemicals used from leather industry are imported so their hinterland travel cost can also be reduced by having leather cluster near ports.
Perambur is a potential location for development of leather cluster. Perambur may be connected to Chennai or Ennore port. Leather clusters in other parts ofTamil Nadu—namely, Ambur, and Ranipet—may ship their cargo to Chennai by road/railway.
