Ahmedabad | Wednesday | 27th March, 2019

Summary:

No other state or any other country can produce ceramic tiles at the value proposition that Morbi offers," said Kundariya. Ceramic manufacturers in Morbi will raise prices of their products by 10-20% owing to a move from cheaper to costlier fuel and restrictions imposed by the Rajasthan government on sale of raw materials. We have suffered twin blows in the form of rise in fuel prices and restrictions by Rajasthan government on the sale of raw materials used in ceramic industries," said Nilesh Jetparia, president of Morbi Ceramic Association, wall tiles division. It was decided that prices of tiles will be raised by 10-20%. He added that the proposed price hike will not affect competitiveness of ceramic products made in Morbi..
