Centre for Stone ExcellenceUpdate16 Mar, 2023

This is the year of stone & skill

At STONA, FIGSI also showcased the upcoming Centres for Stone Excellence - integrated skill development and research centres exclusively for the stone industry.

The first-of-their-kind Centres for Stone Excellence are being setup in Hosur, Tamil Nadu and in Mahindra SEZ, Jaipur in Rajasthan. These Centres – completely self-funded by FIGSI - will become the fulcrum of the stone industry going forward.

These Centres will provide structured programs on skill development for the stone industry, providing trained manpower to not just Indian stone businesses, but also extending the benefit of upskilled human capital to our international partners.

The institutes will also be home to a stone incubation hub dedicated to startups working on new technology, business models and solutions for the stone industry. This will help improve recovery rates, and reduce wastage.

The Centre for Stone Excellence building will be one of the handful LEED certified structures – showcasing our commitment to sustainable growth.
