Oriental Trimex Limited, a well-known name in the luxury natural imported marble industry, has released an important business update under SEBI (LODR) Regulation 30, outlining its recent strategic initiatives aimed at reinforcing its leadership in the sector.

The company’s latest communication highlights four major developments: adopting innovative processing technology, securing a mining lease, divesting non-core assets, and leveraging booming demand in the luxury housing sector.

These moves demonstrate Oriental Trimex’s commitment to growth, efficiency, and market leadership in India’s competitive stone industry.

Adoption of SMART CUT Ultrathin Wire Machine

A major highlight of the business update is the introduction of the SMART CUT ultrathin wire machine for cutting marble blocks.

This state-of-the-art technology uses an ultra-thin wire of just 0.55 mm thickness, compared to traditional blades with 3.5 mm wide segments.

Key benefits include:

• About 20% less waste during cutting

• Higher yield from each marble block

• Improved profit margins in an industry where margins typically range from 10% to 30%

• Reduced labour costs thanks to advanced automation

This technological upgrade positions Oriental Trimex as one of the first companies in India’s marble sector to adopt such advanced processing methods, ensuring a clear first-mover advantage and superior operational efficiency.

Grant of Mining Lease for Jer Black Granite

In a significant boost to its product portfolio, Oriental Trimex has secured an official mining lease from the Government of Odisha for a Jer Black Granite quarry.

• The lease was granted on 21 May 2025.

• Quarry operations are scheduled to commence this quarter.

• Commercial production is expected to begin soon after.

This new granite source allows Oriental Trimex to expand its range beyond imported marbles and indigenous granites. The company also announced active discussions with potential partners in the Far East and Middle East, including final-stage talks with a Vietnam-based partner, underscoring its focus on export markets and international collaborations.

Expansion of Rare Earth Brand and Product Diversification

Oriental Trimex has also strengthened its position by introducing marble-design vitrified tiles under its Rare Earth brand.

This product line offers:

• Cost-effective alternatives for flooring and cladding

• The luxurious look of imported marble without the high price

• A strong response from customers, including developers, architects, and homeowners

By broadening its offerings, the company is well-placed to serve both premium and value-focused segments of the market, reinforcing its status as a complete stone solutions provider.

Sale of Non-Core Assets for Liquidity

As part of its strategic realignment, Oriental Trimex plans to divest non-core assets to streamline its balance sheet and improve liquidity.

Assets identified for sale include:

• Seven acres of land in the Somnathpur Industrial Estate, Balasore

• A small granite unit in the Rairangpur Industrial Area

This move will reduce recurring costs and release funds for core business investments such as expanding production capacity, adopting new technologies, and developing export partnerships.

Growing Demand in NCR’s Luxury Housing Segment

Oriental Trimex is also well-positioned to benefit from the booming demand for luxury apartments in the National Capital Region (NCR).

Major real estate developers in NCR are increasingly choosing:

• High-quality imported marbles

• Indigenous granites

• Marble-design vitrified tiles

Oriental Trimex has a strong track record of supplying prestigious projects in both North and South India, cementing its reputation as a trusted partner for premium construction and interior design needs.

Company Profile and Market Presence

With over three decades of experience, Oriental Trimex has built a robust foundation in Northern India, supported by:

• State-of-the-art processing facilities, including its Chennai plant

• A nationwide sales network serving architects, developers, hotels, malls, and retail outlets

• Strategic sourcing from the world’s finest marble quarries

The company prides itself on delivering aesthetic excellence and unmatched quality in dimensional stones.

Commitment to Innovation and Growth

Oriental Trimex’s focus on technology adoption, mining expansion, product diversification, and asset optimisation reflects its forward-looking strategy to drive sustainable growth.

By investing in cutting-edge machinery like the SMART CUT ultrathin wire machine and securing new granite sources, the company aims to:

• Enhance profitability and margins

• Reduce production waste

• Strengthen global competitiveness

These initiatives support its vision to remain a leader in India’s luxury stone sector.

Conclusion

The press release titled Business Update demonstrates Oriental Trimex’s clear roadmap to maintain and extend its leadership in the marble and granite industry.

Through technological innovation, strategic asset management, and market-focused product development, Oriental Trimex is laying the groundwork for sustained success in both domestic and international markets.
