Hai, my business location is kerala, karnataka, andhra, gujarat, rajasthan, m.p., orissa. If anobdy would like to start marble granite business the profit way is like. i am giving the stroy of the profit, SUPPOSE WE PURCHASE 1000 SQ.FT. BLACK GRANITE FROM ANDHRAPRADESH THE PURCHASE COST IS RS.90/ SQ.FT. THE LOCAL TAX IS 2%, LOADING CHARGE IS RS.1500/TRUCK AND THE TRANSPORTATION IS KHAMMAM TO KERALA IS RS.3000/TONE. 1000 SQ.FT. MATERIAL WIEGHT IS 7.5 TONE, WHEN THIS TRUCK IS REACHING KERALA BORDER, THERE WE HAVE TO PAY A 13.5% ENTRY TAX. SO THE TOTAL OF RS.30/ IS COMING APPROXIMATELY EXTRA COST PLUS 90/ SQ.FT. = 120/. it is the landing cost. Please note that one trader get a measurement benefit there at the time of purchasing the material, so we get an extra more than 100 sq.ft. as measurement from the factory so the total quantity is coming 1100 at the time reaching the material in our site. here we sell it @ Rs.150/ sq.ft., so we get a minimum of Rs.20 to 30/ sq.ft. profit plus the measurement benefit of 100 sq.ft. 100 x 150 = Rs.15,000/-this exactly an extra benefit in addition to our actual profit. So after selling this 1100 sq.ft. material one trader can easily get Rs.30 to 45000/- profit. So, if anybody would like to start this business, please dont waste your time for thinking, take decision fast and be a granite marble trader.

Hai viewers, Starting marble and granite laying work business.  It is a good one if an individual like to start it, sure he/her can earn huge money from it., while i am saying because of only you have some knowledge about the products and also have some other technical knowledge about the laying work like taking measurements of the building and quantity calculations, helping clients for choosing quality materials, non-wastage of materials etc.  For example if you are taking 1000 sq.ft. granite laying work, i can give you a small explanation about the profit Rs.30 to 60/ sq.ft. is the laying charge of granite, it means Rs.60000/- after laying this 1000 sq.ft. material, the final measurements will be come nearabout 1300 sq.ft. (all the skirtings and other small measurements would be calculated on RUNNING FEET MEASUREMENT BASIS) so you can get another Rs.18,000/- extra benefit. so the total amount will be Rs.78000/-. After giving labour wages u can sure get Rs.20 to 30000/- very easily.  regards SIVANANDAN KOMALAN

Hello viewers, Starting a new granite marble dealership is not an easy matter, if you have sufficient money and place etc. u can't start it, for which the consent person has a basic knowledge of this business for that you must visit few such companies and see what they are doing and what kind of materials they have sotcked and which materials is fastly moving and what is the prices of each materials and how much is the purchase cost and other extra expenses etc. at last what is coming the net landing cost, then only can calculate our profit.  sure one trader can get a measurement benefit from the manufacturer it is not included the exact measurements., of course you will get this extra measurements profit, it is totally an extra amount.  Regarding cracks and other damages, you must create a person who can inspect the materials before measurements and loading so that you can avoid the breakages etc.  sure on this method, u can easily earn a good profit and step by step u will become a great business person.

@ravindranath, Please refer your interest to start your own marble and granite shop, it is a wise thinking because you have some experience in this field, so dont waste your time to start this business and enjoy the benefit. please go through the information i have given above which will help you more to start this business.

@sanjay, refer your message 6/6/2011  regarding starting a granite factory in Chittoor district. regarding starting a plant in Andhra now a days, it is very difficult because the shortage of power is the major factor in this state, and also the increased prices of machineries and labour charges etc.  for starting a small unit you have to install one Block cutter, 3 units of polishing machines, water treatment plant etc.  so the approximate money you have in your hand Rs.1.00 crore for the balance 1 crore you can get working capital from major nationalised banks. Another major factor is sourcing raw materials, most of the mines are closed in Andhra because of non-availability of good materials, for your purpose you have to purchase raw materials from other states like Tamil nadu, Karnataka and Maharashtra the cost of outside materials are high compare to your state materials. I think it is better to start a trading of granite and marbles in your area step by step you can start a small unit. regards. 

@RaviMarar, Dear Shri marar, it is a good and wise thinking to start such a business, you know now a days the demand of granite and marble, vitrified tiles are very high compare to other indian states, while i am saying because of the development of our cities day to day growth of housing complexes, apartments, shopping malls, individual villas, auditoriums etc.  so please start the business as early as possible.  you know the profit is very high compare to any other business. please have your feed back to nidhiajitha@gmail.com.  regards
