Hilltop Stones (Hilltop Granite)

What Hilltop Stones (Hilltop Granite) does

Hilltop Stones (Hilltop Granite) is a Bangalore-headquartered, family-owned manufacturer and exporter of natural and engineered stone surfaces, founded in 1989 by Kamal Giria and Nilesh Giria. The company operates a vertically integrated production stack spanning quarrying, gang-saw processing, and quartz/porcelain/SPC fabrication across facilities in Bangalore, Tamil Nadu, and Hosur, with current annual capacity of 3.6 million sq. ft. (up from 300,000 sq. ft. at inception) and on-site renewable energy via a 1.25 MW windmill that offsets approximately 300 tons of carbon emissions annually.

Its product portfolio is split between nature-formed materials (marble, granite, quartzite) and precision-engineered surfaces (quartz, porcelain, Stone Polymer Composite / SPC), marketed under the core Hilltop Surfaces brand and the luxury sub-brand COR by Hilltop Group. Distribution is split between direct showroom retail (the 150,000 sq. ft. Indian Experience Center plus Houston, Dallas, and Austin, Texas showrooms), B2B direct sales to architects, builders, contractors, and dealers, and a global export arm operating through a 100% Export-Oriented Unit in Bangalore with active shipments to the USA and Europe.

The revenue model is one-time unit pricing on stone slabs, tiles, and flooring materials, with quotations issued on inquiry rather than published list pricing; taxes, shipping, and installation are billed separately. The company reports no public revenue or external funding, operates as a private limited company in India alongside Hilltop Stones & Interiors in the USA, and holds government credentials including the 2023 2 Star Export House recognition and a 2013 No Child Labour certification issued by the Government of Tamil Nadu.
