2.1INDUSTRY DETAILS:

Description of the Granite and Marble Industry

INDIAN MARBLE, GRANITE AND NATURAL STONES INDUSTRY

India has a remarkable variety of natural stones that include granite, marble, sandstone, limestone,
slate, and quartzite, spread out all over the country. India is also amongst the largest producer of
raw stone material, with superior quality, low prices and the most advanced technology for
quarrying and processing of stone.

The Indian natural stone industry is evolved in the production and the manufacturing of
dimensional stone blocks for monumental and building purposes, in all forms of structural slabs,
flooring slabs, structural slabs, calibrated – ready to fix tiles, in processed monuments and tomb
stones, in cobbles, cubes, kerbs and landscape garden stones, etc.

The most serious contender of the Indian natural stones industry is China, especially in the granite
trade due to its lower prices. Spain is an important contender too. Spanish industries investing
mainly in the infrastructure and machineries increase their production capabilities to a greater
extent.

RAMAIAH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCES


Marble was used for building tombs, temples and palaces. For a long time it was considered as
Royal Stone. It is, however, now used in hotels and homes too.

Federation of Indian Granite and Stone Industry (Formerly Known as All India Granites and
Stone Association).

It is established with a commitment to serve India’s Ornamental Stone Industries specialized in


granites, marbles, sandstones, slates, limestone, quartzite etc.

also DGFT to bring both the Granite and Marble blocks import under OGL scheme.

Granite Market: Overview

Granite is an igneous rock which is developed due to the interlocking between crystals of
feldspar, quartz, and mica. Other minerals are also present in minor quantities. Granite constitutes
about 70% to 80% of the Earth’s crust. It is majorly found as large mountain ranges.

Different theories about the origin of granite have existed for more than 150 years. The two most
prominent theories that exists currently are the hyper-metamorphic theory and the magmatic
theory.

The colour of granite depends on its mineral composition. It is predominantly found in white, grey
or pink colour.

The term granitic is used for granite as well as such igneous rocks that have similar texture to that
of granite, but somewhat different origin and composition. Granite-like rocks primarily comprise
quartz, feldspar, and mica with some amphibole minerals. Their interlocking structure is slightly
equigranular matrix of quartz and feldspar, with mica and amphibole scattered in between. This
scattered presence of mica and amphibole minerals can be majorly observed in light-coloured
granites. 

Granite Market Trends

RAMAIAH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCES


Granite is a hard stone and entails skill to hand-carve it. It is utilized for making sculptures,
memorials, and gravestones. It has also been widely employed as flooring tiles and dimension
stones. In modern architecture, granite slabs and tiles are used to make countertops, bar tops,
fireplaces, staircases, murals, paving stones, and curbings. They are also utilized as building
stones for bridges, memorials, monuments, and buildings. A form of granite, known as azurite
granite, is primarily employed as a gemstone and also for construction purposes.

The usage of granite in household construction is increasing; however, there is concern regarding
the radiations from granite being harmful to health. Granite is also a natural source of radiation
similar to most natural stones. The concern regarding radiation has been raised due to reports of
higher radioactivity in some granites. Alkali feldspar is a common constituent of granite.
Potassium-40 is a radioactive isotope of weak emission and is abundantly present in alkali
feldspar. Uranium and Thorium are also found in granite. Concern about granite building
materials being health hazard arises due to these factors.

In the construction industry, the granite is employed in either the crushed form or dimensional
form. Granite rock climbing is also popular as a sport, because of its soundness, steepness,
friction, and crack systems. Consequently, artificial rock climbing walls in many theme parks and
gyms are given the appearance and feel of granite. 

Granite Market Segmentation

In terms of colour, the granite market can be segmented into black, white, and colour. In terms of
application, the market can be segmented into architecture, construction, and others. 

Granite Market: Region-wise Outlook

Granite and related industries are considered to be some of the oldest industries in the world. The
U.S., China, India, Brazil, Italy, Sweden, Germany, and Spain are major exporters of granite.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, domestic production of granite in the U.S. was
estimated to be 1.48 billion tons in 2016. The granite was found in crushed stone form and was
said to be valued at more than US$ 16.2 billion.

History :

India is one among the leading countries in mining and export of granite and is rich in granite
reserves. Geologically, the southern and eastern belts of the Nation are abundant in granite
deposits. Different shades of granites are available in abundance in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh,
Karnataka, Maharashtra, Assam, Bihar, Rajasthan, Odisha, Meghalaya and Madhya Pradesh.
Indian Granite Stone has become the most sought-after and extensively used stone material in
building construction and massive structural works throughout the world, and it is well known in
the International market, not only for its elegance and aesthetic quality, but also for its durability.

RAMAIAH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCES


The Granite Industry has received a wider publicity and corporate importance in the last few
years. The industry is emerging now as a thrust-export-area with several corporate houses,
supported by expert professionals trained in all aspects, entering the sector with sophisticated
world-class machinery and making it an organized one. Many overseas buyers, including the
Japanese, are the regular importers of the Jet Black Material, which is considered to be the world's
best variety and is found in abundance in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. Bu they
have, of late, lost confidence in the supply of materials owing to its interrupted schedule. This was
because of inconsistent policies of the Governments towards the industry, together with political
interference in mining lease and other procedures. 

India is one of the leading nations in the production and export of Granite and other stones.
Granite is a very hard crystalline, igneous or metamorphic rock primarily composed of feldspar,
quartz and lesser amounts of dark minerals. India has vast resources of granite with about 110
varieties of different colours and textures such as black, grey, pink, multi coloured, etc. These
varieties are used to produce monuments, building slabs, titles, surface plates etc. However,
popular varieties are mainly found in South India.

Brief Introduction:

Granite in the form of slabs and tiles has several attractive features, which, inter alia, includes
extra-fine mirror-polish, scratch-free glossy surface and durability. Granite can be compared very
well with other floor and wall application materials such as ceramics and marble. Mining for
granite is done manually. For drilling and channeling hand chisels and hammers are used. There
are very few quarries that have mining machinery, such as compressors and drilling machines for
drilling and blasting, cranes for lifting big blocks, and dampers and trucks for transport.

Operations that are involved in the processing of granite are:

 Dressing 
 Cutting/Sawing 
 Surface Grinding and Polishing 
RAMAIAH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCES
 Edge-Cutting-Trimming 

Granites are now mined in most of the Indian states for use as construction material and road
metal but production of dressed granite blocks and slabs from Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka,
Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu are highly priced. In India there are 43 granite processing units of
which 12 are in Andhra Pradesh, 13 in Karnataka, 3 in Rajasthan, 14 in Tamil Nadu and 1 in
Odisha. During the last five years exports have grown steadily by about 10% a year but this
growth rate may increase even more in the near future. New companies may not be entering the
industry but many existing companies are steadily increasing their production capacity to meet
demand. 

New technology investments are being made with the aim of increasing sales and reducing costs.
In the last few years CNC machines have been employed in many factories for making
complicated designs. Usually the diamond tools and other consumables are imported, to the extent
of 80% of total demand, and amounting to between 5 and 6 million US dollars per year.

Size of the industry :

There are 100 manufacturers in India for Granites and there are also a few trading companies. In
the last 5 years the capacity of these companies has increased by about 10% annually, suggesting
a certain stability and sustainability. Big companies are considered to be those that have the
RAMAIAH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCES
capacity of manufacturing seven or more containers per month- and there are about 20 such
companies. On an average about 75 workers are employed in a company. Total the direct
employment in the Indian Granite industry is about 10000 people. Indirect employment comes to
another 10000 people. About 80% of the manufacturers are located in the state of Tamil Nadu
while the rest are located in the neighbouring states of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. The entire
gravestone industry is located in the south of the country which is where most of the granite
quarries are to be found.

Total contribution to the economy/ sales:

Total Granite production in the Indian industry is estimated to be about 350 to 400 containers a
month. (A curious unit - when referring to blocks the normal term used is cubic metres, in slabs,
the measurement unit is square metres or square feet, while in the gravestones the reference point
tends to be containers). As mentioned before, the entire production is exported. Presently about
180 to 200 containers are exported to Europe, approximately 50 containers a month are exported
to United States, 40 containers to Japan while the rest are sent to Australia, New Zealand, South
Africa and other countries. The months of November, December and most of January are
considered to be the low season when monthly production drops to about half. An average
container has a price of US$ 18000 to US$ 24000, depending on the materials used and the
complexity of the designs, thus the total industry size is estimated to be approximately US $ 85
million.

Domestic and Export Share :

Granite importing countries such as the US, China, Italy have reduced their requirements. India's
granite and natural stone exports could be down by 15-20 per cent per year according to
CAPEXIL (formerly Chemicals & Allied Products Export Promotion Council).

RAMAIAH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCES


Latest developments :

India has one of the largest reserves of granite in the world and exported Rs 2,600 crore (Rs 26
billion) worth of the stone in the past years. Granite exports this fiscal are expected to touch Rs
2,800 crore (Rs 28 billion) and nearly one-fourth of these exports is accounted for by monument
stones.

About 85-90 % of the total granite production in the country is for exports. So after the recession
period is over the industry will again regain its demand .This is the best time for an entrepreneur
to venture into this sector.

Last fiscal, the total exports of granite and marble from India had crossed the Rs 4,000 crore
marks with the US accounting for the bulk of the consumption (40%). 

The All India Granite and Stones Association (AIGSA), which estimated a 10 % increase in
overseas sales for 2018-19, found the export market no more lucrative.

The granite industry in Rajasthan has been growing at 50% annually. But this growth has serious
social and environmental costs. As the water sources are being depleted, forcing farmers to
become laborers in the granite industry.

Rajasthan Granite mining is an approximately Rs 800 crore industry today; it forms 95% of
India's dimension stone exports.

As per my observations the major management problem is due to the system of information and
the way in which the information flows. I could see that everyone work in their own world they
don’t bother to inform or even ask each other about the NEWS of the organization, they just
throw their blame on each other.

Lack of coordination in an organization can decrease productivity, complicate process and delay
the completion of tasks. In this organization we saw a lack of coordination among managers and
between employees improper communication. In order to coordinate the efforts of an entire
organization, the organization requires a systematic integration of a process that creates
accountability within the organization. Implementing this type of process a1lows
interdepartmental coordination throughout the organization between employees. Recognizing
early signs and symptoms of not having coordination in on organization can help it prevent further
damage.

Due to lack of coordination we were not able to achieve our targets in the given period of time
which created a lot of loses to the company and the organization structure was not proper due to
the lack of coordination these problems are connected with the systematic flow of communication
and the delegation of duties. Problems don’t arise with the entire department, they can happen
even due to an individual’s mistake and because of that specific individual the entire organization
faces a bad time. The management doesn’t take the salesperson’s mistake into the consideration
which leads to wastage of financial resources and later the organization is affected internal. The
employees don’t get their salaries on time and the company keeps on taking loans to carry out
further transactions for the labor wages, the contractor’s payments, raw materials and
transportation etc. So basically, I mean to say that there is not only one management problem
there are many and they keep on arising each and every moment as everything is entwined to each
other.

Other problems:

Poor Reporting/Communication: Timely and smart communication is ideal and non-


communication is a deal-breaker. The manager should be communicating with you regularly and
fully comfortable with all modes of communication. You don’t want them constantly hiding
behind an auto-attendant or administrative assistant. Their reports should be consistently delivered
each month and your questions answered clearly and quickly. Any deviation in reporting or a
failure to deliver reports can be a huge red flag that must not be ignored.

Expensive: There are many factors that drive the cost of property management in a given region.
The transportation cost the location of the site it all matters in this way of approach

My 3-months internship at pacific industries Pvt. ltd was very informative and challenging.
Within the span of 3 months, I was assigned the task of both Marketing as well as the internal
department. I gained a lot of first-hand experience in the area of marketing and customer
relationship management.

Looking at the company grow I felt like contributing more for the welfare of the organization so
that in future when I learn from my everyday experiences i can apply the learnings from my
experiences and knowledge that I’ve gained.

Marketing interacts with customers to prep the market for the product before it has even
completed development. It should not be an afterthought. Ultimately, what the customer needs
and is willing to. Pay for rules a start-up.

The company’s overall environment and work ethics shed light on start-up efficiency and helped
me ‘get a broader idea as to how challenges were dealt. I was given the opportunity to gain a lot
of industrial experience relating to customer satisfaction and customer engagement.

Customer service is not only an opportunity to make your customers happy, but also your pipeline
to valuable product feedback and insights. A strong two-way communication channel can be the
lifeblood to ensuring customer satisfaction, honing your vision, and accelerating your product
development. Investing in it will ultimately help you do your job better by bringing you closer to
your customer.

The knowledge I have gathered through this internship will help me face challenges at a bigger
organization with ease. The hands-on experience that I have garnered will help me when
understand the concept of marketing in-depth and aid me in my future endeavors in higher studies
as well as business.
