Według „The Times of India”., an increase in industrial gas prices by Indian gas company Gujarat Gas Ltd (“Gaz GGL“) will cost the country’s largest ceramics cluster, Piłka nożna, 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 na standardowy metr sześcienny (rupii 4.37 including tax) to a final price of Rs 37.51 na standardowy metr sześcienny, with effect from the same day. Cena gazu na cele mieszkaniowe pozostaje bez zmian.
The increase in industrial gas prices is mainly due to the significant increase in LNG prices in the international market. Ostatnio, there has been a relatively large increase in the global price of natural gas. Prices in the Chinese market also exceeded RMB 5,400 za tonę, 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 lata.
Według danych opublikowanych przez Chińskie Stowarzyszenie Ceramiki Budowlanej i Sanitarnej, od 2020, the natural gas usage rate of building pottery enterprises has increased from less than 15% do około 55%. Jednakże, z proponowanym poziomem neutralności pod względem emisji dwutlenku węgla i szczytem emisji dwutlenku węgla, udział gazu przemysłowego nie wzrośnie później 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. Rozumie się, że, at present in Guangdong, Fujian, Shandong, Syczuan, Liaoning i inne obszary produkcyjne, większość przedsiębiorstw zakończyła transformację czystej energii.
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, prezes Stowarzyszenia Ceramiki Morbi, said that the increase would add 7 Do 8% to the production costs of companies and could even lead to the shutdown of nearly 30% of factories in Morbi. W regionie, paliwo stanowi prawie 35 Do 40 procent całkowitych kosztów produkcji, 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.
Ponadto, Braki kontenerów i wysokie koszty wysyłki uciskają fabryki płytek w 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%.
Eksport stanowi 30 procent produkcji płytek Morbi. KG Kundariya, chairman of Morbi-based Wintel Ceramics Private Limited, said exports had fallen by 20 procent. 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. Podnosząc ceny, aby przenieść zwiększone koszty produkcji, end retailing will also be affected.
Aby zapewnić, że na rynku nie będzie nadpodaży i że istniejące pozycje magazynowe będą sprzedawane po rozsądnych cenach, W odpowiedzi fabryki płytek rozważają zamknięcie pieców. Dotychczas, 115 tile factories have reportedly ceased production and a further 250 will be shut down for a month from 1 Wrzesień.
