Hajipur’s Competence Exports Company Secures Rs. 100 Crore Order
For the past two years, Russia has been engaged in military attacks on Ukraine. In a surprising twist, the boots worn by Russian soldiers in this conflict are made in Bihar, India.
Hajipur, the fastest-growing city in Bihar after the capital, Patna, is renowned for its footwear manufacturing. The high-quality footwear produced here has gained international acclaim, making it the choice for the Russian army’s soldiers.
Competence Exports Company, based in Hajipur, has received a significant order worth Rs. 100 crores to supply boots to Russian soldiers. This is a notable achievement, as the Russian army is recognized as one of the world’s best. The weapons, technical equipment, uniforms, and other accessories used by Russian soldiers adhere to the highest quality standards. Thus, it is a testament to Hajipur’s footwear craftsmanship that the Russian army has chosen their boots.
The Bihar-made boots are specifically designed to withstand adverse weather conditions. They are not only lightweight but also provide comfort in extreme cold, enduring temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius.
Last year, Competence Exports Company exported 1.5 million military-grade boots to Russia. Given the growing demand for their high-quality footwear, the company plans to expand its offerings by manufacturing designer shoes for public consumption and launching them in the European market.
