A Comparison Of Difficulties Faced By Indian Marble Industries In Domestic And International Marketing : A Special Refrence To Southern Rajasthan

Abstract

Indian marble exports have come in second only to that country's iron ore exports. Its feel, texture, and range of colours make marble a sought-after natural stone for use in architectural contexts. Following Italy and China, India has taken third place in the global stone export market. As far as marble goes, Rajasthan is the pinnacle. Nearly 4000 mines and 1100 processing plants are located here. Marble production in Rajasthan is a major contributor to the Indian economy. Rajasthan marble is in high demand both domestically and internationally, and that desire is reflected in the price it commands. Indian marble is still experiencing significant difficulties in both the domestic and foreign markets. Southern Rajasthan is infamous for its mines and granite industry. In this paper, the author tries to investigate these obstacles, like the high tax, labour concerns, high electricity charges, price competition, payment recovery, environmental issues, imported tiles, and governmental issues in southern part of Rajasthan. The state of Rajasthan needs to take action to overcome these issues so that it can grow as much as possible in this field. The results of the study will be used by government and marble industry policy makers to assist marble industry in fighting these problems and shine bright in both domestic and international market.
