Here are the highlights shared by the company:
Introduction of ultrathin wire cutting technology
The company announced the introduction of the “SMART CUT” ultrathin wire machine for cutting marble blocks, becoming one of the first in the industry to adopt this cutting-edge technology.
The machine employs ultra-thin wire just 0.55 mm thick—significantly more precise than conventional blades—resulting in a 20% reduction in material wastage. The innovation is expected to optimize yield and enhance profit margins, which typically range from 10% to 30% in the industry. The high degree of automation also reduces labor dependence, improving operational efficiency.
Black granite mining lease in Odisha
Oriental Trimex also reported that it had received an official mining lease from the Odisha Government for a quarry of Jer Black Granite on May 21, 2025. Quarry operations are expected to begin in the current quarter, with commercial production to follow shortly thereafter.
The company is actively exploring export partnerships and is in advanced discussions with several companies in the Far East and Middle East, including a Vietnam-based partner.
Divestment of non-core assets
As part of its broader strategy to streamline operations and unlock liquidity, the company disclosed plans to divest non-core land assets, including seven acres in Somnathpur Industrial Estate, Balasore, and a small granite unit in the Rairangpur Industrial Area.
The divestment is aimed at reducing recurring expenses and reallocating capital for focused investments.
Growth in the National Capital Region (NCR) market
The company is also witnessing strong demand in the luxury housing segment of the National Capital Region (NCR), fueled by a rise in premium residential developments. Oriental Trimex noted that its high-quality imported marbles, indigenous granites, and marble-design vitrified tiles have gained traction with prominent developers.
The company emphasized its track record of serving marquee projects in both North and South India, solidifying its presence in the premium construction materials market.
