MARBLE CUTTING AND POLISHING UNIT
(CAPACITY: 120 SQ.MT./DAY)
(EIRI/EDPR/4715) J.C. 2935XL

Marble business in India is presently a rapidly thriving business considering the
scope and promising future that it holds for marble business enthusiasts. If
targeted in the right market, the marble and granite business can shine and mint
huge profits in India’s geographical boundaries. Marbles and granites are
considered the vital elements required in the building, and they are widely getting
acclaim for the beauty and glittering touch that it gives to the indoor surface
within the premise or building.

The demand for marbles and granites in India is soaring high, thereby giving the
push to marble business in India and opening the windows of hope for the
business enthusiasts who are willing to enter this form of business. In order to
witness the accelerating demand for marble tiles in India, you can visit hospitals,
colleges, hotels, houses (especially in urban parts of India), and even other places,
and you will be getting a glimpse of eye-captivating and highly appealing visuals
that is a result of usage of marbles in such places.

The attraction value of marble depends upon its smoothness, hardness,
durability, and finish, which enhances the value of a building. The Indian
government is quite aware of the potential and value of polished tiles, and thus, it
has made the marble tiles industry a crucial part of the export thrust domain.

The marble industry in India has a chequered history. The first marble stone in
India was found in the Makrana of erstwhile Rajputana, It was the marble of
Makrana that was used in fabulous monumental structure erected centuries ago
in India and elsewhere. The world-famous Taj Mahal at Agra, the Victoria
Memorial at Kolkata and Jaswant Memorial at Jodhpur bear the testimony to the
marble supplied from Makrana. The construction viability of marble stone has
been proved beyond doubt as these structures have weathered the vagaries of
climate through the centuries.

Gone are the days when marble was considered to be an item of luxury and used
only in palaces, temples, mosques and other prestigious buildings. It is now
extensively used in ordinary buildings, in drawing rooms, dining rooms, bath
rooms and kitchens. Central Public Works Department has specified marble to be
used in the Kitchen Platform of even staff quarters.
