De réir The Times of India, an increase in industrial gas prices by Indian gas company Gujarat Gas Ltd (“Ggl gás“) will cost the country’s largest ceramics cluster, Morbi, an additional Rs1 billion in gas costs.
GGL Gas company announced on 24 August that it would increase the price of industrial gas for companies producing sanitary ware and tiles in the Morbi and Surendranagar regions by approximately Rs 5 in aghaidh an mhéadair chiúbach chaighdeánach (RS 4.37 including tax) to a final price of Rs 37.51 in aghaidh an mhéadair chiúbach chaighdeánach, with effect from the same day. Níl aon athrú ar phraghas an gháis le haghaidh úsáide cónaithe.
The increase in industrial gas prices is mainly due to the significant increase in LNG prices in the international market. Le déanaí, there has been a relatively large increase in the global price of natural gas. Prices in the Chinese market also exceeded RMB 5,400 in aghaidh an tonna, a price increase of over 100% compared to the same period the previous year, while prices in the US market also reached their highest level in almost 10 blianta.
De réir sonraí a d'eisigh Cumann Foirgníochta agus Criadóireachta Sláintíochta na Síne, amhail is 2020, the natural gas usage rate of building pottery enterprises has increased from less than 15% chun faoi 55%. ach, leis an mbuaic charbóin atá neodrach agus carbóin atá beartaithe, Ní mhéadóidh an cóimheas gáis tionsclaíoch ina dhiaidh 2025 and the proportion will decrease after 2030. Natural gas is carbon-neutral transitional energy, electricity will become the future of the “main energy force”, and electric firing kilns will be the new direction of energy technology development in the building and sanitary ceramics industry. Tuigtear go, at present in Guangdong, Fáin méis, Iarmhairt, Sichuan, Liaoning agus limistéir táirgthe eile, Tá an claochlú fuinnimh ghlan críochnaithe ag formhór na bhfiontar.
And India also completed the process of switching from coal gasification furnaces to natural gas production in 2019 on a mandatory basis. GGL Gas is now reported to supply 6.5 million cubic meters of natural gas per day to the Indian ceramics industry. The price increase will add an additional Rs 1 billion per month to the bill. The sudden increase in gas prices will have an impact on the existing orders of Indian ceramics companies and gas companies and or so.
Nilesh Jetpariya, Cathaoirleach ar Chumann Criadóireachta Morbi, said that the increase would add 7 chuig 8% to the production costs of companies and could even lead to the shutdown of nearly 30% of factories in Morbi. Sa réigiún, Tá cuntas breosla beagnach 35 chuig 40 faoin gcéad de na costais táirgthe iomlána, and the sudden price hike could prevent many manufacturers from adjusting their production plans in time, or they will be forced to clear their stocks at a loss.
Ina theannta sin, Tá ganntanas coimeádáin agus costais loingseoireachta arda ag brú monarchana tíleanna i Morbi. Shipping costs have risen two to three times in the last few months. Local exporters are unable to get containers and exports of tiles have fallen by 20-40%.
Cuntas onnmhairí 30 faoin gcéad de tháirgeadh tíl Morbi. Kg Kundariya, chairman of Morbi-based Wintel Ceramics Private Limited, said exports had fallen by 20 faoin gcéad. Exports were supposed to bring in incremental volumes when the Indian market was slowing down due to pandemic demand. However poor logistics led the export market to take a hit as well. Trí phraghsanna a ardú chun na costais táirgthe mhéadaithe a chur ar aghaidh, end retailing will also be affected.
Chun a chinntiú nach bhfuil aon rósholáthar sa mhargadh agus go ndíoltar míreanna stoic atá ann cheana ag leibhéil praghsanna réasúnta, Tá monarchana tíl ag smaoineamh ar áitheanna a dhúnadh mar fhreagra. Go dtí seo, 115 tile factories have reportedly ceased production and a further 250 will be shut down for a month from 1 Meán Fómhair.
