Export
of granite and natural stones from India has been on the increase
with every passing year.
Export of granite, marble and other stones from India in 1999-2000
amounted to Rs.1540 Crore
The
figure rose in 2000-2001 to Rs.2126 Crore
The
increase is a substantial 38 per cent despite heavy competition
in the price of finished products like monuments, slabs, tiles
etc., and also in the export of dimensional blocks.
Indian
granite and stone exporters had to face China, Brazil and
Turkey, who are selling their stones at a lower price and
India had to compete with them in the global market. This
trend had reduced the profitability.
With
their exclusivity, some of the Indian stones have been in
tremendous demand worldwide, and are becoming more popular.
