- · Study the existing value chain of the Marble and granite Industry from extraction to end consumer, including associated industries, Imports, and exports, stakeholders involved, extraction techniques, the processing involved, essential products, market segmentation, etc., due to which the Marble and granite sector is potentially active
- · Conduct meetings/seminars/workshops with relevant stakeholders of the Marble and granite Sector and its sub-sectors to examine the current technological issues of existing industries in terms of the proposed interventions
- · Validate the proposed technologies of excavators, wire saws, drills, Ground Penetration Radar Systems (GPRS), etc., based on their viability for the sector in terms of the following but not limited to;
- o Geographic sources of raw material
- o Availability and quality of local raw material
- o Cutting and processing techniques
- o Product Quality
- o Final Product cost
- o Product Impacts)
- o Technology Impacts
- o Product Market Position
- o Product Pricing Mechanism
- o Customer Demand
- · Review Programme design considering medium to long-term requirements of identified technologies and validate the expected impact of technology up-gradation on the Marble and granite Sector
- · Develop a Feasibility Report for proposed technologies of excavators, wire saws, drills, etc. based on findings
- · Advise on integrated drivers of success of the Marble and granite sector based on product processes, market segments, technologies, infrastructure, human resources, etc.
- Suggest specific recommendations for Tax and policy Reforms and promoting JVs for the betterment of the Marble and granite Sector.
