A family quarry, over 30 years in
One quarry, one polishing yard, now exporting direct
Mallikarjuna Stones Ltd is the UK export arm of a family that has quarried and processed Shahabad limestone in Kalaburagi district, Karnataka for over 30 years, supplying across India. We are now opening a direct channel to the UK, and worldwide after that.
The stone
Shahabad limestone, from the Kalaburagi belt
Shahabad limestone is a fine-grained limestone quarried across the Kalaburagi belt of north Karnataka, used for flooring and paving across India for decades. It is much less known in the UK than Indian sandstone, and that gap is the reason we are opening this channel now.
We own the quarry and run the polishing yard ourselves — Mallikarjun Stone Polishing Industries, in Miriyan village, Chincholi taluk, Kalaburagi district. Every stone we sell is cut, honed and polished there before it ever leaves India. What lands in the UK is finished and ready to lay.
The family business
Thirty years supplying India, now going direct to the UK
The quarry and yard have supplied Shahabad limestone across India for over 30 years. Opening a direct export channel means a UK buyer can deal with the people who actually cut the stone, rather than a reseller with no connection to the quarry.
Structure
Two addresses, one business
Mallikarjuna Stones Ltd is the UK company handling sales and export. Mallikarjun Stone Polishing Industries is the quarry and polishing yard in India where the stone is actually cut, honed and polished. It is one business run by the same family across both addresses.
