India-Oman FTA: Oman to export marble blocks to India
India and Oman have made an agreement where Oman will start exporting marble blocks to India.
This is a big deal because Oman had stopped exporting marble blocks in 2016 to focus on making more valuable products within their own country.
Now, India will be able to buy these marble blocks from Oman instead of Turkey.
This will help India create more jobs in the marble processing industry and get better prices.
So, it's a win-win situation for both countries!
Oman has agreed to export marble blocks to India under the Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
This will help India replace imports of Turkish marble and boost the domestic processing industry.
Oman had banned the export of raw marble blocks since 2016 to promote value addition within the country.
The agreement will create more jobs in India's marble processing sector.
Omani marble blocks are better priced compared to Turkish imports.
