India Stone & Tech Expo 2026 to be held in Hyderabad from May 29

Hyderabad, May 20 (UNI) India Stone & Tech Expo 2026, a major trade exhibition focused on the stone, machinery and surface technology sectors, will be held at the HITEX Exhibition Centre here from May May 29 to 31.
The expo is being organised by Incense Media and is expected to serve as a platform for networking, technology exchange and business collaborations.
The expo assumes significance for Telangana as the two Telugu-speaking States together form the country’s largest natural stone-producing region. Nearly 80 per cent of Telangana’s granite production is export-oriented, underlining the State’s strong presence in international markets, the organisers said in a release here on Wednesday.
Positioned as South India’s leading stone industry trade show, the expo is designed as an integrated business platform bringing together raw material producers, stone processors, machinery manufacturers, tooling companies and finished-surface brands under one roof.
The event aims to facilitate collaboration and business opportunities across the entire stone ecosystem by connecting stakeholders from manufacturing, processing, tooling and design segments.
A key attraction at the expo will be the dedicated machinery and technology segment featuring advanced cutting, polishing, shaping and finishing solutions, along with abrasives, adhesives, chemicals, CNC technologies and other processing consumables.
The exhibition will also showcase India’s rich stone craftsmanship heritage through displays by master artisans, sculptors, idol makers and custom stone creators, blending traditional artistry with modern industrial innovation.
In a release, Organisers said Hyderabad’s emergence as a major centre for construction, infrastructure, real estate and MICE activities makes it an ideal venue to attract architects, developers, builders, fabricators and buyers from across South India and other parts of the country.
Among the confirmed exhibitors are SRAI Granite, Shri Bhagwati Machines Pvt. Ltd., Granite India (Wanlong), FIGSI, Concord Gears & Motors, Diabu Diamond Tools, Fusion CNC Techsystems LLP, Technoline Machines, Sigma Machine Tools, Stone Plus and SVG International, besides international participants from China.
The event will focus on stone-processing technologies, machinery innovation, tooling solutions, natural stone products and artisanal craftsmanship, providing a comprehensive sourcing and knowledge-sharing platform for the industry.
