A fine-grained limestone from Kota in Rajasthan, used across India as tough, low-cost, slip-resistant flooring.

## What is Kotah Stone (Kota Stone)?

Kota stone is a fine-grained limestone quarried mainly around Kota in Rajasthan. It is known across India for its toughness, non-slip surface and low cost, and builders use it for flooring in high-traffic commercial areas, industrial corridors, staircases and hospital pathways.

## Practical example

An architect specifies rough-polished Kota stone, in place of costlier [vitrified tiles](https://superwise.site/glossary/vitrified-tiles/), for the fire-escape stairwells of a 20-storey commercial tower. The stone gives a hard, anti-slip surface that withstands decades of heavy use without chipping.

## In SuperWise

In SuperWise, Kota stone is a material resource with a unit of measure such as sq.m or sq.ft, so it can be bought by area. Each delivery is recorded on a [material delivery challan](https://superwise.site/glossary/material-delivery-challan/) against a purchase order line. Laying and polishing can go to a contractor on a [work order](https://superwise.site/glossary/work-order/), separate from the stone purchase.
