M. Rafeeque Ahmed the chairman of Council for Leather Exports has stated that Areas in Vellore district particularly Ranipet, Melvisharam, Ambur and Vaniyambadi are home to hundreds of leather manufacturing units.  The leather industry in Vellore district is one of the largest in the country, and it is looking to the State government for help with resources and gives a boost to the infra structure.


Nationally if the whole State accounts for 45 per cent of leather exports, Vellore’s share stands at 30%. One of the biggest problems faced by the sector here is environment related and in many States the government contributes to enable leather industries to adopt and implement a zero-liquid discharge system.


Refeeque Ahmed has added that another crucial requirement for the leather sector is continuous power supply. To boost exports the State government should intervene and get the Chennai Port Maduravoyal has elevated expressway built fast.


S. Faiyaz Ahmed the honorary secretary of Ambur Tanners Association has added that many foreigners are visiting places such as Ranipet, Ambur and Vaniyambadi. The municipalities do not have sewage treatment plants and sewage overflows onto the roads in many areas, and this does not give a good impression and has also insisted that the government should invest in the sector as they are facing water shortage in Vellore.
