The footwear manufacturers of Agra in northern India will soon have a new leather park to help them meet their supply needs and to enable them to present their products to buyers more professionally and effectively. 

The state of Uttar Pradesh will invest $50 million in the project, its chief minister, Mayawati Naina Kumari, announced on April 16. She also said that the 4% rate of VAT currently levied on footwear costing up to $10 will be abolished.
