Passion. Perseverance. Vision. Dedication.

These are the tenets that are metaphorically carved in stone for us. Today our passion is to offer the best in the world of granite with a relentless determination to go beyond the obvious and create a relationship. That's been our vision and dedication.

Right from the day of our inception in 1972, we have passionately followed these principles. Starting of operations with a partnership firm called Pallava Granite Industries (PGI), this entity is also the flagship company of the Group.

While our sights were first set on the South Arcot District in Tamil Nadu for Black Granites, our quarrying operations successfully expanded to other south Indian states.

During this period, under the aegis of PGI we had rendered ourselves pioneers in the quarrying industry and remained one of the few names that exploited the export market of Black Granite.

The year 1983 saw a change where Mr.K. Subba Reddy took over the business in partnership with his wife Mrs.Sailaja Reddy. With this move there was a total shift in the business plan and also saw further diversification. There was also an emergence of a group of companies, which are today an integral part of Pallava. These include:

Pallava Granite Industries ( India ) Limited :

Based in Manubolu in Nellore District of Andhra Pradesh, this entity was started in 1995 to exclusively handle Granite Slabs. This fledging company is a 100% Export Oriented Unit and has registered a commendable growth in the area of exports.

Pallava Minerals Limited :

This Company exports Granite Blocks and finished products of bought-out materials from outside sources on trading terms.

To summarise, the number of companies under the Pallava Group banner are:

• Pallava Granite Industries ( India ) Limited.

• Pallava Minerals Limited

• Aswani Enterprises (A.E)

• Pallava Granite Industries ( India ) Pvt Limited (PGIIL)

Building on Foresight: Over a period of time, there was a need for a product extension. With the hard work and foresight, Mr.K Subba Reddy took the group beyond just being a conventional export house exporting Rough Blocks of granite to a strategically expanded realm of value-added products.

Expanding the portfolio: With the growing demands in the international market a 100% EOU was established in 1988 in Pondicherry for Monuments and Memorials. With the introduction of an additional product line "BOSEKI", a Japanese monument, in collaboration with M/s.Mitsubishi Corporation, Japan , the unit was further expanded.

The success of this unit lead us to venture into manufacture and export of Building slabs. We established another 100% Export Oriented Unit in 1995 at Manubolu in Andhra Pradesh with an annual capacity of 100,000 Sq.Mtrs. and also acquired first generation computerised machinery.

State-of-the-art Equipment: Depending on the requirements and demands of the market, we acquired additional machinery and equipment for the quarries which today form an essential part of our assets. These run into several crores of rupees and have helped us better our business prospects.

Getting closer to our vision: Today as a Group, we are one of the most professionally managed companies in the business. Professionalism in the management was brought about with a team of well-experienced and qualified persons in various disciplines like Mining Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Geologists, Machinery Operators, Accountants and Administrators.

This team of competent persons blended together helps optimise operational efficiency.
