India’s Tata International is expanding its portfolio of footwear brands with new additions set for launch this year.

By April, it will start retailing US-based women’s footwear brand Aerosoles and men’s footwear brands Aristos, S.C.T and by June, Arin.

A unit of Tata Group, Tata International has also tied up with retailers including Metro and Mochi and will soon open exclusive brand outlets for those brands.

It is also planning to re-launch its own footwear brand Tashi, which withdrew from the market in 2010.

Tata International is also the joint venture partner of Wolverine World Wide Incorporated for the wholesale distribution of Wolverine’s Merrell and Caterpillar footwear brands and apparels in India.
