Big boost for domestic marble industry: Turkiye tile business suffers a big blow after Udaipur breaks ties with them

As India has been boycotting Turkey for playing its part in ' Operation Sindoor' and cooperating Pakistan, Udaipur tile business has altogether ceased its ties, showing solidarity.

As Turkey played a significant role in a strike against India and cooperated with Pakistan in the recent Operation Sindoor, the vibrant Turkish ceramic tile market estimated to be worth $1.62 billion has taken a big blow.

As per the ANI news report, Udaipur marble traders end business with Turkiye for siding with Pakistan amid the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan. 

Kapil Surana, President of Udaipur Marble Processors Committee, says, "Udaipur is Asia's biggest exporter of marbles. All members of the committee had unanimously agreed to stop trade with Turkiye because of its support to Pakistan... 70% of the marble imported to India comes from Turkiye... Not just Udaipur, if all marble associations stop their trade with Turkiye, it will give a strong message to the world that the Indian government is not alone, industries and all Indians stand with our government... If we stop trade with Turkiye, the demand for Indian marble will grow..."
