The facility will focus on manufacturing sports shoes and related products, marking a significant step-up in the company’s capabilities and reinforcing its strategic shift toward higher-value product categories, it said in a statement.
Lehar has signed a rent agreement for the proposed facility, which is expected to substantially scale up production capacity from about 1 lakh pairs per month to 5 lakh pairs per month in a phased manner.
The facility is expected to commence commercial operations from July 2026 onwards, aligning with Lehar Footwear’s broader strategy to capitalize on rising demand in the sports and athleisure footwear market.
The new Kundli unit will be equipped with advanced manufacturing technologies for sports shoes and EVA based footwear. The facility is expected to support both the company’s in-house athleisure brand ‘Rannr’ as well as its OEM manufacturing vertical, the company said.
Kundli offers strong connectivity to North Indian markets and logistics hubs, it added.
“The new capacity expansion marks an important step in our expansion journey. This project will enable us to build scalable, technology-enabled manufacturing capabilities aligned with evolving consumer demand in sports and athleisure footwear. We expect this to support our premiumisation strategy and strengthen our positioning across both branded and OEM segments,” Raj Kumar Agarwal, Chairman of Lehar Footwears, said in a statement.
India’s sports and athleisure footwear market is witnessing robust growth, driven by increasing health awareness, rising disposable incomes, and evolving fashion trends, the company said.
Lehar Footwear said it aims to leverage these tailwinds through continued investments in product innovation, capacity expansion, and brand building. With this expansion, the company reinforces its commitment to sustainable growth, operational excellence, and long-term value creation for stakeholders.
The company will invest up to Rs 25 crore in the new facility, which will be funded through internal accruals.
