MORBI

Morbi, the most promising ceramic tiles manufacturing hub of India, is a city located in Saurashtra region of Gujarat.

Here are the key points which makes this city the next big thing in international ceramic arena:

• Home to approx 390 manufacturing units.

• Cumulative investment of approx Rs. 4000 Crore.

• Manufactures more then 70% of total ceramic production in India.

• Total installed capacity of 1.8 million Sq.Ft. tiles per day.

• Gives direct employment to 85000 people.

The main products of this ceramic city are Vitrified tiles, Wall tiles, floor tiles, sanitaryware, roofing tiles and mosaic tiles.

A large number of small-scale ceramic pottery manufacturing units are also located around Thangadh. Thus Wankaner, Thangadh and Morbi form the Ceramic triangle. These units also cater to export market (Middle East, African Countries, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, etc.). In the recent years Morbi has also became an important manufacturing outsourcing zone. Many leading ceramic companies like HR Johnson, Asian tiles and Somani Tiles are outsourcing their requirements from Morbi.
The region around Morbi (i.e. Wankaner, Dhuva, and Thangadh) is a virtually untapped ceramics zone. It is India's newest and most promising ceramics production hub with scores of innovative and enthusiastic tile and sanitary ware manufacturers, all of which represent key future sales targets for equipment, raw materials and service suppliers. The pace of production capacity growth in this region has been explosive and this trend is set to continue for the foreseeable future. The vicinity of the city with major ports (e.g. Kandla and Mundra) also lowers down the transportation costs and thus helps exporters of ceramics from the region. The region will surely be one of Asia's key driving forces over the next 10 years.
