The Central Government is establishing Mega Leather, Footwear, and Accessories Clusters in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu with a total investment of about ₹898 crore.
These clusters will be developed at Muzaffarpur (Bihar), Sitapur–Morena (Madhya Pradesh), Raigad (Maharashtra), and Ranipet (Tamil Nadu).
The projects are being developed under the Indian Footwear and Leather Development Programme (IFLDP) 2021–26.
Mega Leather Clusters are industrial parks that provide common infrastructure, logistics facilities, and manufacturing support for the leather and footwear industries.
Some clusters will also include Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) for treating wastewater generated by leather processing units.
