The organized factory sector data, however, reveal that resourceintensity in the organized leathermanufacturing has actually increased.

Four factors, lack indigenous development and acquisition oftechnology, adoption of the acquired technology through research, brand building andinadequate emphasis on human resource (skill) development may have contributed to thisstable (increased)material resource intensity in leathermanufacturing.Resource intensityofleatherindustrywasalsoobservedbytheICRAstudywhichbasedonCapitalinedataobservedthat infootwearsectorrawmaterialaccountedfor65percentofthecostfollowedbysellingandadministrativeexpenses(14percent)andexpenditureonemployees(7percent)7.

    The Working Group on Boosting Indias Manufacturing Export in 12th Five Year Plan hasprojected a growth at 24% during 201217. The Report indicates that while the leatherexporters favour a much more conservative scenario of about 24%, the goal is achievableprovided no economic major disruptions occur in the main markets, and the proposedstrategies are implemented16. As per the scenario indicated by the Working Group, totalexports of leather by 201617 are expected to reach at US $ 14 billion. The sub groupconsideredtheReportandwasoftheviewthat itmaybea littlemoreoptimistic.Evenat15per cent growth, the exports from India would be growing at 1.5 times the global importgrowth.

To exempt the condition of registering the SPV under Sec 25 ofCompaniesAct, and

    insteadallowSPVtoregisterunderanysectionsoftheCompaniesAct.Thiswasbasicallyto tide over the difficulty in getting finance for the project as investors would bereluctanttoinvestinaSPVwhichismandatedtoworkonnoprofitbasis.

    b. ToamendtheoverallschemeguidelinesaspertheSchemeforIntegratedTextileParks(SITP) since the scheme is already under operation and several ITP has alreadyestablishedinthetextilesectoralloverthecountry,andassuchtheschemehasprovenitself.

    Further,theindustryalsoinformedthathighlandcostisadeterrent,andindustryisfindingitdifficulttoprocuretheland,andmoveforwardparticularlyduetothisreason.Thehighcostoflandmakes the project unviable, and hence somemechanism has to be found out on landissue.
