Industries and Commerce Minister Colonel Rajyavardhan Rathore said that the four-day international exhibition will be held at the Jaipur Exhibition & Convention Centre (JECC) and will showcase stone, machinery, and value-added products across 539 stalls, spread over an area of more than 25,000 square metres.

He stated that organising India Stonemart would provide a significant boost to Rajasthan’s stone industry, offering artisans from the state valuable exposure to the latest technologies and global best practices in the sector.

The event is being jointly organised by Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation (RIICO), Centre for Development of Stones (CDOS), and Laghu Udyog Bharati, and will serve as an international platform for policy dialogue, technology exchange, and global collaboration.

Addressing a press conference on Friday, Col Rathore said that Rajasthan is fully prepared to welcome participants from India and abroad for the prestigious event.

Initiated in the year 2000 to provide an international platform to stakeholders associated with the stone industry, India Stonemart is witnessing its 13th edition this year.

Those present at the press conference included Stonemart Convener Natwar Ajmera, National Co-General Secretary of Laghu Udyog Bharati Naresh Pareek, Managing Director of RUDA Manisha Arora, CEO of CDOS Mukul Rastogi, Chairman of CDOS Deepak Ajmera, National Secretary of Laghu Udyog Bharati Anju Singh, and former National Treasurer of Laghu Udyog Bharati Yogesh Gautam.

Col Rathore also informed that a special pavilion will be created at the event to showcase stone products selected under Rajasthan’s One District One Product (ODOP) initiative. This initiative will help these products gain national and international recognition, boost exports, and generate employment opportunities.
