Through digital e-stalls and AI-based search technology, the app is expected to transform traditional business practices in the stone industry and enable direct engagement with global buyers. This digital platform will further strengthen the international competitiveness of the Indian stone industry.
Notably, India Stone Mart 2026, a four-day international exhibition, is scheduled to be held from February 5 to 8, 2026, at the Jaipur Exhibition and Convention Centre, Sitapura.
