Motipur Cluster in Mahwal has accelerated efforts to establish a leather hub, with booking processes for the Bihar Leather Product Park initiated by the authorities.

Thermal Power Plant Installed for Leather Park
The provision of electricity is crucial for any industry, and thus, a dedicated 11 kV feeder has been installed for power supply to the Leather Park by the Industry Department. Additionally, a 390-megawatt thermal power plant located 15 km from the site ensures uninterrupted power supply, reassuring external investors.
Further simplifying the allocation process, a mega project map portal has been launched, detailing the orientation and position of each plot.
Future Product Range and Employment Opportunities
Efforts are underway to develop additional infrastructure alongside the mega leather park. Once fully operational, the Leather Park will become a new hub for employment, manufacturing leather products such as purses, belts, shoes, and sandals. This development raises hopes for increased job opportunities for locals.
Recent discussions at the Global Meet in Patna informed external investors about the Mega Food Park and Mega Leather Park projects.
