Why Shimla buys its marble in Mumbai
Flora Marble's gallery is in the Main Marble Market on the Western Express Highway service road, Vile Parle East, Mumbai, near Hotel Sahara Star, open Monday to Saturday, 10 AM to 7 PM. From Shimla the practical way in is a flight to Mumbai: the gallery is 5 km from the airport, about 10 minutes by road. Stocked slabs stand there to be seen in person; catalogue stones are sourced to order and shown before you commit.
Most buyers from Shimla start with the drawings and the stone they have in mind: we quote against them, show the numbered slabs we propose, and nothing is cut until the lot is agreed. Every slab is cut, resin-treated and polished at our own factory in Athal, Silvassa, 1,549 km from Shimla by road, so the book-matched pair, the honed finish or the cut-to-size piece comes from the same block as the slab you chose.
Shimla: homes and shops
Shimla's hotels and the hill houses of its new colonies order stone against drawings; the slabs are crated at Silvassa and come up by road through Chandigarh.
For floors, Shimla mostly asks for a beige marble, Botticino, Ottoman or Spanish Cream, in one lot across the whole house. For the walls that matter, the living room, the island, the pooja room, it asks for an Italian white. Outside and in the kitchen, granite in a leathered or polished finish does the hard work.
Delivery to Shimla
Slabs and cut-to-size pieces go by road freight from the factory at Athal, Silvassa, 1,549 km from Shimla, crated and strapped for the distance, and the date is confirmed with each order. Every slab is inspected, numbered and photographed before it is loaded, so what arrives can be checked against what was chosen.
Flora Marble supplies Shimla district and the rest of Himachal Pradesh from Silvassa and Mumbai, and projects across India.
