West Asia conflict shuts Morbi ceramic factories

|March 07, 2026
A shortage of propane gas used to fuel kilns is triggering a wave of factory closures at India’s main ceramics production hub in Morbi, Gujarat, as the fallout of the ongoing conflict in West Asia manifests across the global economy.
At least 100 ceramic factories that run on propane gas have already shut down in the last few days, said Sandip Kundariya, who owns two such units. One, Gold Coin Ceramics, suspended operations on Friday morning. He was preparing to shut the other, WeSeven Ceramics, which runs on piped natural gas (PNG) supplied by Gujarat Gas and is facing reduced supplies and uncertainty over overseas transport, by Friday evening.
Asian Granito, a listed tiles and bathware maker, said in a stock exchange filing on Friday that it was evaluating alternative fuels and operational measures to soften the impact.
‘An industry official said the annual turnover of the Morbi ceramic industry for 2025-2026 was expected to be around 60,000 crore and that it employs around 4 lakh workers whose jobs are now at risk.
