About CIFI: During the last few years, India witnessed robust developments in Footwear Industry. Due to recent technological advancements, footwear production increased on a large scale. This situation demands a national-level institution for the development of the footwear sector. 

The Confederation of Indian Footwear Industries is proposed to be the axis and pivot institution for the unity and development of players in the footwear industry. The promoters of the Confederation of Indian Footwear Industries include the leading footwear manufacturers, dealers, and suppliers of raw materials in India. At present there is no national level institution to co-ordinate the footwear manufacturers and dealers. The promoters of the Confederation of Indian Footwear Industries are confident about serving the purpose by incorporating a Section 25 Company in the name and style aforesaid. To fulfill the objectives of the proposed Confederation of Indian Footwear Industries, the promoters believe that the same should be incorporated as a Section 25 Company under the Companies Act, 1956. The Confederation of Indian Footwear Industries is supposed to induce the future development of the footwear industry in India and in fact the development of the economy. The proposed activities of the Company include the conduct of conventions, training programs, workshops, and seminars across the country, which will certainly result in positive changes in the economy. The presence of the Confederation of Indian Footwear Industries will certainly increase the competence of the members to manufacture and market superior quality footwear across the globe. Being conceived the idea of incorporating the Confederation of Indian Footwear Industries and understanding the benefits of Section 25 Company, the promoters wish to incorporate Confederation of Indian Footwear Industries as a Section 25 Company to serve the noble cause.
