Jaipur : Rajasthan’s Deputy Chief Minister Diya Kumari today unveiled the official poster of Stone Mart India 2026. The event is being seen as a significant step towards showcasing the state’s rich stone heritage, industrial potential, and international trade opportunities on a global platform. Representatives and office-bearers of the organizations associated with the event—CDOS, RIICO, and Laghu Udyog Bharati—were present at the poster unveiling ceremony. Those in attendance included Naresh Pareek (National Joint General Secretary), Natwarlal Ajmera (Convener, Stone Mart and Vice President, Laghu Udyog Bharati Rajasthan), Arun Jajodia (State Treasurer), Mahendra Mishra (Jaipur Regional President, Laghu Udyog Bharati), and Mukul Rastogi (CEO – CDOS). During the programme, detailed discussions were held on the preparations for the event, international participation, and various industry-related aspects.
On this occasion, Deputy Chief Minister Diya Kumari said that Rajasthan’s identity is deeply connected with its art, culture, architecture, and natural stone. The state’s forts, palaces, temples, and historic structures stand as testimony to the fact that natural stone is not merely a construction material but an integral part of the state’s living heritage. She added that events like Stone Mart India 2026 serve as an effective medium to connect this heritage with modern technology, innovation, and global markets. The event will provide buyers and exhibitors from India and abroad an opportunity to experience Rajasthan’s art and culture along with its industrial heritage.
She further stated that such international events bring new opportunities not only for the stone sector but also for the state’s MSMEs, artisans, entrepreneurs, and export-oriented industries. These initiatives also help boost investment, employment, and overall business activity.
The organizers informed the Deputy Chief Minister that Stone Mart India 2026 is being organized on a much larger scale than before. The event is being held with CDOS as the organizer, RIICO as the Principal Sponsor, and Laghu Udyog Bharati as the co-organizer. The exhibition will see participation from leading stone producers, processors, exporters, machinery manufacturers, and technical experts from India and abroad.
Stone Mart India 2026 will not be limited to natural stone alone; it will also showcase the latest developments in stone processing machinery, advanced technologies, design innovation, and value addition. Through this event, concrete efforts are being made to position Rajasthan as a global hub for natural stone and related technologies.
Naresh Pareek, National Joint General Secretary of Laghu Udyog Bharati, said that this time the scope of the event has been expanded further at the international level to ensure strong participation from foreign buyers, investors, and trade representatives. Stone Mart India 2026 will not only give a new identity to the state’s stone industry but will also strengthen international trade relations.
At the conclusion of the programme, the organizers invited industry representatives, traders, investors, and stakeholders from India and abroad to participate in Stone Mart India 2026 and become a part of this prestigious platform.
