India's leather, footwear exports to UK may double in 3 years: Goyal
India's leather and footwear exports to the United Kingdom are projected to double to $1 billion by 2027, fuelled by duty-free access under the India–UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), India's Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal has said. He termed the agreement a transformative opportunity for the country's textiles, leather, and footwear sectors. Goyal emphasised that the landmark trade pact positions Indian exporters for significant growth by eliminating tariff disadvantages of up to 12 per cent previously faced in the UK market compared to competitors like Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Pakistan. India's leather and footwear exports to the UK are set to double to $1 billion by 2027 under the Indiaâ€'UK CETA, which grants duty-free access and removes tariffs of up to 12 per cent, Commerce & Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has said. The agreement is expected to boost MSMEs, employment, and global recognition for Indian products. Key stakeholders welcomed the move. He said this while addressing an industry interaction with stakeholders from the textiles, leather and footwear sector in New Delhi to discuss the opportunities created by CETA, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry said in a press release. Commerce Secretary Sunil Barthwal stressed that CETA will empower Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), enhance global recognition for Indian artisans, and create employment opportunities. The agreement removes UK's import duties on Indian leather goods (2–8 per cent), leather footwear (4.5 per cent), and non-leather footwear (11.9 per cent), levelling the playing field for Indian exporters. Segments including readymade garments, home textiles, carpets, and handicrafts are expected to benefit from the zero-duty market access, with textile hubs such as Tirupur, Jaipur, Ludhiana, and Moradabad among those poised for growth. The pact also ensures protection for Indian Geographical Indications like Kolhapuri footwear and Mojari, simplifies customs procedures, aligns technical standards, and encourages sustainability and digital integration among MSMEs. The Indian Footwear and Leather Development Programme (IFLDP), with an outlay of ₹1,700 crore (~$195.79 million), and the proposed Focus Product Scheme will further support infrastructure, technology, and brand building. Industry stakeholders, including CLE, CII, CIFI, IFCOMA, FDDI, CLRI, LSSC, and various textile export promotion councils, welcomed CETA and called for proactive follow-up measures to maximise its benefits. The ministry plans to conduct additional consultations and engage manufacturing clusters across states to ensure widespread preparedness and sectoral readiness, added the release.

Make Nandyal dist a model for green energy: Collector
Nandyal: District Collector G Rajakumari has emphasised the importance of utilising the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana to transform Nandyal district into a model for green energy. Speaking via video-conference from the Collectorate on Tuesday, she addressed Revenue Divisional Officers (RDOs), municipal commissioners, tahsildars, MPDOs and APMs, urging them to take proactive steps in promoting rooftop solar adoption across the district. The Collector highlighted that the PM Surya Ghar scheme not only reduces pollution but also contributes to household income and builds a healthier society. Once installed, rooftop solar panels can provide uninterrupted electricity for up to 25 years. In case of surplus power generation, residents can sell the excess to the government, eliminating concerns over power outages. She further noted the added benefits, such as supporting electric vehicle charging infrastructure at the household level. Rajakumari called for every village in the district to be developed as a 'Model Solar Village.' Officials were instructed to involve public representatives such as MPTCs and ZPTCs and conduct awareness campaigns to encourage rooftop solar panel installation in every household. She stressed the need for close collaboration with banks to ensure the scheme's smooth implementation. A target of 10,000 installations per constituency has been set, totaling 70,000 installations across the seven constituencies in Nandyal district. Under the scheme, subsidies of Rs 30,000 for 1kW, Rs 60,000 for 2kW, and Rs 78,000 for 3kW systems are being offered, with 100% subsidy for SC and ST beneficiaries. The Collector urged all eligible citizens to avail themselves of this beneficial scheme and join hands in making Nandyal a solar-powered model district in India.
