Why the trade fits
Morbi makes the majority of India’s ceramic tiles and a large share of its sanitaryware, shipping through dealer and distributor networks that leading tile enterprises appoint town by town. A dealer carries bulky, slow-moving stock across hundreds of designs, so capital sits in the showroom long before it sells. That gap between paying the plant and selling the pallet is what a dealer limit sized to real supply is built to cover.
How the safeguards apply here
Every drawdown pays the tile enterprise directly against a confirmed order, so the money reaches stock and never the dealer’s hands. Delivery confirmation at the showroom closes each cycle. Short tenors keep a slow-selling catalogue from ageing into a stranded position.
