Abstract:
Rubber Footwears are more popular because of light weight, longer life, resistance to water and
moisture and low price. Among the rubber footwears chappals are the most common variety.
The demand for chappals in India is presently more than 630 million pairs and the production is
more than 350 million pairs, which leaves a demand, supply gap of 280 million pairs. Apart from
this the demand is increasing at the rate of 4-5%.
