India&#8217;s tile market targets Rs 55,000 crore by 2028 growing at 12 percent annually. Kajaria Ceramics Ltd at Rs 21,000 crore is India&#8217;s largest tile company with 82 million square metre annual capacity and the Kajaria brand as India&#8217;s most recalled tile brand. Somany Ceramics Ltd is the second largest tile company with digital printing technology leadership. Asian Granito India Ltd is the fastest growing tiles company in Gujarat. Cera Sanitaryware Ltd is the premium bathroom fittings and tiles conglomerate. Orient Bell Ltd is the mid size tile company with digital printing and GVT (glazed vitrified tiles) specialisation. India&#8217;s real estate upcycle at record residential launches is the primary demand driver.<\/p>\n<p>Ankit Jaiswal, Senior Research Analyst at Univest, sees Kajaria and Somany at an earnings recovery inflection as natural gas costs, which are 25 to 30 percent of tile manufacturing cost, have normalised and real estate volume simultaneously accelerates. Kunal Singla, Associate Director at Univest, highlights the GVT (Glazed Vitrified Tiles) and LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tiles) premiumisation trend, where average tile realisation has risen from Rs 280 to Rs 420 per square metre in 3 years, as the sustainable ASP improvement driver for the best tile stocks in India 2026.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy
