Material Info

Origin of Our Black Limestone

Black limestone, commonly referred to as Kota Black or Kadappa Black, is predominantly quarried in the southern regions of India, particularly in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. In Andhra Pradesh, the town of Kadapa (also spelled Cuddapah) is renowned for its production of Kadappa Black Limestone, characterized by its deep black coloration and fine-grained texture. 

This limestone is highly esteemed for its durability and aesthetic appeal, making it a popular choice for various architectural and design applications.

In Tamil Nadu, black limestone is also extracted, contributing to the region's reputation as a significant source of this natural stone. The limestone from these areas is known for its consistent quality and is widely used in both domestic and international markets.

The extraction and processing of black limestone in these regions involve traditional quarrying methods, ensuring the preservation of the stone's natural characteristics. The industry provides employment opportunities to local communities and plays a vital role in the regional economy.

Overall, the black limestone from southern India is celebrated for its rich color, durability, and versatility, making it a preferred material for flooring, wall cladding, paving, and various other construction and design projects.
