Mallikarjuna Stones

The quarry

Miriyan village, Chincholi taluk.

Thirty years on the same limestone horizon, supplying across India. The yard sits beside the face, so cutting, honing, brushing, polishing, grading and crating all happen inside one operation.

The India operation

Mallikarjun Stone Polishing Industries works the beds and runs the yard. Mallikarjuna Stones Ltd holds the UK export channel, so a UK buyer contracts with a UK company and the stone still leaves the family yard.
