$7 billion ceramic industry on the brink? Gas supply shortage pushes industry toward total shutdown
$7 billion ceramic industry on the brink? Gas supply shortage pushes industry toward total shutdown is drawing significant interest across the industry.
India's Morbi ceramic cluster — the world's largest — faces a collective shutdown after March 15 as Middle East conflict disrupts propane and natural gas supplies. Around 800 units producing tiles and sanitaryware have been hit by fuel cuts and halted Middle East exports, with freight charges surging 20–30 times, threatening hundreds of thousands of livelihoods.
Experts suggest this could influence future trends and innovation in the sector.
More updates are expected as the story develops.
