Ifølge Times of India, Indian gas company Gujarat Gas Ltd (“GGL Gass”) 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 per standard kubikkmeter (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 per standard kubikkmeter. The new prices are effective from the same day. Prisen på gass til boligbruk forblir uendret.
The increase in industrial gas prices is mainly due to the significant increase in LNG prices on the international market. Nylig, there has been a significant increase in global gas prices. Prices in the Chinese market also exceeded 5,400 Yuan etter lyd, a price increase of more than 100 percent over the same period last year, while prices in the U.S. market also hit the highest level in nearly 10 år.
Ifølge data utgitt av China Building and Sanitary Ceramics Association, pr 2020, the natural gas usage rate of building ceramic enterprises increased from less than 15% til ca 55%. derimot, med den foreslåtte karbonnøytrale og karbontopp, industrigassforholdet vil ikke øke etter 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. Det er forstått det, at present, Guangdong, Fujian, Shandong, Sichuan, Liaoning og andre produksjonsområder, de fleste bedrifter har fullført transformasjonen av ren energi.
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 milliarder. The sudden increase in gas prices will have an impact on the existing orders of Indian ceramics companies.
Nilesh Jetpariya, formann i Morbi Keramikkforening, said the increase will increase production costs by 7 til 8 prosent, and could even lead to the shutdown of nearly 30 percent of factories in Morbi. I regionen, drivstoff står for nesten 35 til 40 prosent av totale produksjonskostnader. 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.
I tillegg, containermangel og høye fraktkostnader presser flisfabrikkene i Morbi. Last few months sea freight costs rose two to three times, local exporters can not get containers, tile exports fell 20% til 40%.
Eksport står for 30 prosent av Morbis flisproduksjon. KG Kundariya, chairman of Moresby-based Wintel Ceramics Private Limited, said exports are down 20 prosent. 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. Ved å heve prisene for å velte de økte produksjonskostnadene videre, end retail will also be affected.
For å sikre at det ikke er overtilbud i markedet og at eksisterende lagervarer selges til fornuftige prisnivåer, flisfabrikker vurderer å stenge ovner som svar. Så langt, 115 tile factories have reportedly shut down production, and another 250 will stop production for a month from September 1.
