Laŭ la Tempoj de Barato, Indian gas company Gujarat Gas Ltd (“GGL -gaso”) has increased the price of industrial gas. This will make the country’s largest ceramic industry cluster Gujarat Morbi gas cost an additional expenditure of more than 1 billion rupees.
GGL Gas announced on August 24 that it would increase the price of industrial gas by approximately Rs 5 laŭ norma kuba metro (Rs 4.37 including taxes) for companies producing sanitary ware and tiles in the Morbi and Surendranagar regions. Its final price will be Rs 37.51 laŭ norma kuba metro. The new prices are effective from the same day. La prezo de gaso por loĝdoma uzo restas senŝanĝa.
The increase in industrial gas prices is mainly due to the significant increase in LNG prices on the international market. Lastatempe, there has been a significant increase in global gas prices.

Laŭ datumoj publikigitaj de la Ĉina Konstruaĵo kaj Sanitara Ceramika Asocio, kiel de 2020, the natural gas usage rate of building ceramic enterprises increased from less than 15% al proksimume 55%. Tamen, kun la proponita karbona neŭtrala kaj karbona pinto, La industria gasproporcio ne pliiĝos post 2025, and the proportion decreases after 2030. Natural gas is a transitional energy source for carbon neutrality, and electricity will be the “main energy source” of the future. Electric firing kiln will be the new direction of energy technology development in the building and sanitary ceramics industry. Oni komprenas tion, at present, Guangdong, Fujian, Shandong, Sichuan, Liaoning kaj aliaj produktadaj areoj, Plej multaj entreprenoj kompletigis la puran energian transformon.
And India is also mandatory in 2019 to complete the process of switching from coal gasification furnaces to natural gas production. It is reported that GGL Gas is now supplying 6.5 million cubic meters of natural gas for the Indian ceramics industry daily, and the price increase will add an additional monthly expenditure of Rs. 1 miliardo. The sudden increase in gas prices will have an impact on the existing orders of Indian ceramics companies.
Nilesh Jetpariya, Prezidanto de la Morbi -Ceramika Asocio, said the increase will increase production costs by 7 al 8 procentoj, and could even lead to the shutdown of nearly 30 percent of factories in Morbi. En la regiono, Brulaj kontoj preskaŭ preskaŭ 35 al 40 procento de totalaj produktokostoj. The sudden price hike may prevent many manufacturers from adjusting their production plans in time, or they will be forced to clear their inventories at a loss.
Krome, Malabundecoj de ujoj kaj altaj sendokostoj elpremas kahelajn fabrikojn en Morbi. Last few months sea freight costs rose two to three times, local exporters can not get containers, tile exports fell 20% al 40%.
Eksportoj kontas 30 Procento de la kahela produktado de Morbi. Kg kundariya, chairman of Moresby-based Wintel Ceramics Private Limited, said exports are down 20 procentoj. Originally when the Indian market was slowing down due to pandemic demand, exports could have brought incremental volumes. However poor logistics caused the export market to take a hit as well. Pliigante prezojn por transdoni la pliigitajn produktokostojn, end retail will also be affected.
Por certigi, ke ne ekzistas troa oferto en la merkato kaj ke ekzistantaj akcioj vendiĝas je raciaj prezaj niveloj, kahelaj fabrikoj pripensas fermi fornojn responde. Ĝis nun, 115 tile factories have reportedly shut down production, and another 250 will stop production for a month from September 1.
