Taiwanese, Vietnamese firms keen to invest in footwear sector in India: CLE
Companies from Taiwan and Vietnam are keen to invest in India's non-leather footwear sector, and the government support is crucial to facilitate these investments, Council for Leather Exports (CLE) Chairman RK Jalan said on Sunday. Jalan said these Taiwanese and Vietnamese firms import products like shoe soles, moulds, machinery, and fabrics from countries like China. "Vietnamese and Taiwanese firms are keen to invest in India. We need to support them so that they can import these goods smoothly into the country for their manufacturing facilities," he said. The country's exports are growing at a healthy rate, and the council is aiming for $7 billion worth of shipments in 2025-26, he added. The exports stood at $5.75 billion in 2024-25. The US was the top destination for Indian exporters with shipments worth $957 million (about 20 per cent share). It was followed by the UK (11 per cent) and Germany. "We are expecting about 18 per cent growth this year. Promotion of manufacturing in the country will help further boost exports and job creation," Jalan added. He said that a trade pact with the US will help increase the share in the American market. At present, this labour-intensive sector attracts 18.5 per cent duty in the US. The two countries are major players in the global footwear sector. Vietnam is a major global hub for manufacturing and exporting footwear, while Taiwan plays a key role in the design, development, and production of footwear for leading international brands. He also urged the government to roll out the focused product scheme for the footwear and leather sectors announced in the Budget to enhance productivity, competitiveness and exports. The scheme will support design capacity, component manufacturing, and machinery required for the production of non-leather quality footwear. Sharing similar views, Kanpur-based Growmore International Ltd MD Yadvendra Singh Sachan said Taiwanese companies have already invested in firms in Tamil Nadu. "They have the best technologies in the non-leather footwear sector. Their entry will help domestic firms in increasing quality production," Sachan said, adding huge opportunities are there for investments in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar because of the availability of affordable labour in these states. He said that Growmore International is also looking for collaborations with foreign firms to enhance the productivity of leather articles.

IPL valuation jumps nearly 13% to $18.5 billion on strong media deals, fan growth
The Indian Premier League ( IPL ) has seen its business valuation surge to $18.5 billion (₹1.56 lakh crore), marking a 12.9% year-on-year increase, according to a new report from global investment bank Houlihan Lokey . The analysis hihglights IPL's growing dominance as one of the world's most valuable sporting properties. The league's brand value alone rose 13.8% in 2025 to $3.9 billion (₹32,721 crore), a 16.1% jump in Indian rupee terms, highlighting its increasing global pull, robust sponsorship ecosystem, and explosive digital engagement. "For institutional investors, this makes the IPL not just a sports league but a high-growth compounder in the entertainment space, catering to a fast-growing fan base with rising disposable income and a strong appetite for premium digital experiences," the study stated. Houlihan Lokey noted that brand value, distinct from total business valuation, reflects the monetary worth of intangible assets like trademarks, trade names, and goodwill. It's only one part of a broader calculation that also includes tangible assets, revenues, and operational factors. Since its launch in 2008, the IPL has evolved into a multibillion-dollar platform that not only dominates Indian sports but also shapes global standards in broadcasting, sponsorship strategy, and franchise operations. The 2025 season, despite facing a temporary pause due to geopolitical tensions in early May, bounced back swiftly with strong contingency planning and coordination among stakeholders. Live Events The report called this year's IPL a textbook example of 'resilience and operational agility.' Franchise performance remains central to the league's commercial success. Top teams reported annual revenues ranging from ₹650 crore to ₹700 crore, with as much as 80% of revenue visibility secured before the tournament even began. A league-wide salary cap of ₹120 crore per team acts as a built-in safeguard, limiting wage inflation and preserving competitive balance. IPL franchises also benefit from a capital-light model, thanks to existing BCCI-created stadium infrastructure and minimal fixed asset exposure. Compared to global peers like English Premier League or NBA teams—which face large transfer fees, variable wages, and stadium debt—IPL teams enjoy a revenue-guaranteed, asset-light structure that enhances upside and protects against risk. The valuation report also pointed to the IPL's growing global audience, noting that the 2025 final between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings smashed viewership records. The title clash drew more than 600 million views on JioCinema, cementing the IPL's status as one of the most-watched sporting events worldwide. The report concluded that with a potent mix of fan loyalty, commercial scalability, and digital reach, the IPL is continuing to redefine what's possible in sports business . With inputs from ANI
