The Delhi International Leather Expo (DILEX) is a premier global sourcing event for footwear, leather bags, garments, and accessories, organized by the Council for Leather Exports (CLE) under the aegis of the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India. The upcoming 6th edition, DILEX India 2025, is scheduled for February 20-21, 2025, in New Delhi.
India holds a significant position in the global leather industry, being the second-largest producer of footwear, the second-largest exporter of leather garments, the third-largest exporter of saddlery and harness, and the fourth-largest exporter of leather goods. The major production centers are located in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi. In the fiscal year 2023-24, India’s export of footwear, leather, and leather products reached US$4.69 billion, with footwear exports accounting for about 53% of this total. The domestic turnover for the sector was approximately US$12 billion during the same period.
DILEX India 2025 aims to connect international buyers with Indian manufacturers, offering a diverse range of products including leather and non-leather footwear (shoes, boots, sandals for men, women, and children), leather goods and accessories (wallets, handbags, bags, pouches, travel ware, belts, portfolios, briefcases, small leather goods), leather garments, leather gloves, harness and saddlery products, footwear components (including shoe uppers), and finished leather.
The event provides a platform for importers, wholesalers, distributors, departmental stores, chain stores, online retailers, and other businesses to source high-quality products from India. It also facilitates opportunities for foreign direct investment, joint ventures, marketing tie-ups, and technical collaborations within the Indian leather sector.
The Council for Leather Exports, established in 1984, serves as the apex trade promotion organization for the Indian leather and leather products industry. Its core objectives include developing and strengthening the industry, undertaking export promotion and market development activities, assisting international importers in sourcing from India, and facilitating business collaborations.
