Gujarat’s Morbi district has emerged as the world’s second-largest ceramic manufacturing hub after China, exporting tiles and ceramic products across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the United States. Often called India’s “ceramic capital,” Morbi has seen rapid growth over the past decade, driven by strong entrepreneurial investment, supportive policies, and modern infrastructure.
The district’s ceramic industry now accounts for around 80–90% of India’s ceramic exports, valued at approximately ₹15,000 crore in 2024–25. With over 1,200 manufacturing units, the sector provides employment to more than five lakh people, making it one of the region’s largest job providers.
Government-backed incentives, including interest and capital subsidies, tax reimbursements, and assistance for quality certification, have played a key role in the cluster’s growth. Dedicated infrastructure, such as the integrated ceramic park in Morbi, supports the entire value chain—from production to testing and logistics—while ensuring reliable access to electricity and gas, which is essential for large-scale operations.
Industry representatives highlight that the combination of skilled labor, technology adoption, and government support has enabled Morbi to compete successfully on the international stage. With its strong exports, modern infrastructure, and continued policy backing, Morbi is solidifying its position as a global leader in ceramic manufacturing and a shining example of India’s industrial growth.
