By Stone Expert & Marble Consultant – Ankit Singhal
Imported marble India me luxury, status aur premium interiors ka symbol ban chuka hai. Italian, Turkish, Greek aur Vietnamese marble ke naam sunte hi buyers assume kar lete hain ki quality automatically best hogi. Lekin ground reality ye hai ki imported marble category me fraud aur manipulation sabse zyada hoti hai.
Har saal hazaron Indian buyers unknowingly:
- Fake imported marble
- Reject batches
- Wrong thickness
- Over‑priced low‑grade material
kharid lete hain. Loss sirf paison ka nahi hota, balki home look, durability aur long‑term satisfaction ka bhi hota hai.
Is detailed guide me main, Stone Expert Ankit Singhal, aapko bina technical jargon ke bataunga:
- Imported marble fraud kya hota hai
- Kaise buyers cheat hote hain
- Real vs manipulated imported marble ka difference
- Kaise aap ₹5–15 lakh tak ka loss avoid kar sakte hain
Imported Marble Fraud India Me Kyun Common Hai?
Imported marble ek high‑value, low‑transparency product hai. Buyers ke paas:
- Quarry knowledge nahi hoti
- Country‑wise quality ka idea nahi hota
- Thickness aur grade samajhne ka experience nahi hota
Aur showrooms ka primary focus hota hai inventory clear karna, na ki buyer ko educate karna.
Is gap ka fayda uthakar market me:
- Country origin manipulate kiya jata hai
- Reject blocks premium bolkar beche jate hain
- Same stone ko alag‑alag names de diye jate hain
- Price ka koi standard follow nahi hota
Imported Marble Fraud Ka Matlab Kya Hai?
Imported marble fraud ka matlab ye nahi ki stone fake hai.
Fraud ka matlab hota hai:
- Imported ke naam par low‑grade ya different country ka material
- Premium pricing for reject or commercial grade marble
- Thickness, treatment aur origin hide karna
Buyer ko lagta hai wo premium buy kar raha hai, jabki reality me wo short‑term material le raha hota hai.
Sabse Common Imported Marble Frauds (Reality Check)
1. Country Origin Fraud
Turkey ya Vietnam marble ko Italy ya Greece bolkar sell kiya jata hai.
2. Reject Batch Manipulation
Factory rejects jisme cracks, pinholes ya structural weakness hoti hai, unhe heavy resin aur polish se hide kar diya jata hai.
3. Thickness Fraud
20 mm quote karke 14–16 mm slab supply karna — jo future cracking ka biggest reason hota hai.
4. Artificial Treatments
Over‑resining, whitening chemicals aur fillers use karke natural defects hide karna.
5. Name Manipulation
Same marble ko alag‑alag Italian‑style trade names dekar premium pricing justify karna.
6. Lighting Fraud
Showroom lighting me slab perfect lagta hai, lekin natural light me defects clearly dikhte hain.
7. No Accountability After Sale
Installation ke baad problems aaye to bol diya jata hai: “Natural stone hai.”
Real Imported Marble Kaise Pehchaane?
✔ Quarry & Country Logic Samjhiye
Actual slab thickness machine se measure karna zaroori hai.
✔ Thickness Measurement
Har country ka marble same quality ka nahi hota. Italy, Greece aur Turkey ke andar bhi multiple grades hote hain.
✔ Back‑Side Inspection
Back side se stone ka structure, mesh aur resin clearly samajh aata hai.
✔ Natural Light Test
Slab ko natural daylight me dekhiye — artificial lighting me nahi.
✔ Grade‑Based Pricing
Premium stone ka price hamesha quarry, grade aur wastage logic se justified hota hai.
