Top 15 Tile Manufacturers and Suppliers in Andhra Pradesh: Industry and Sourcing Directory 2027

Ask most people where Indian tiles come from and the answer is almost always Morbi, Gujarat. That answer is incomplete. India's largest single vitrified tile manufacturing plant does not sit in Gujarat at all; it sits in Samalkot, a small town in Andhra Pradesh's East Godavari district. This state has quietly built its own tile manufacturing base along the Godavari river belt, running in parallel to Gujarat rather than competing directly with it, and anyone sourcing tiles in South India benefits from knowing the difference between what is actually made here and what simply gets sold here.

Why Andhra Pradesh Has Its Own Place in India's Tile Industry

The stretch of East Godavari and Krishna districts running along the Godavari river has long supplied the clay and mineral inputs ceramic manufacturing depends on, which is part of why manufacturers set up here rather than shipping raw material in from elsewhere. Kakinada's working port adds a second advantage, giving manufacturers in this belt a direct export route that a landlocked cluster does not have as conveniently. Together, these two factors, local raw material and coastal access, explain why a company like RAK Ceramics, a global group headquartered in the UAE, chose Samalkot for what it describes as its largest and most modern vitrified tile plant in India, rather than building in Gujarat alongside most of its Indian competitors.

This regional cluster also functions differently from Gujarat's in one important respect. Where Morbi grew into a dense concentration of hundreds of manufacturers competing within a few taluks of each other, Andhra Pradesh's tile industry is smaller and more spread out, with individual large plants such as Samalkot and Srikalahasti sitting alongside a handful of homegrown mid-sized producers rather than a tightly packed manufacturing town. For a buyer, this means fewer manufacturers to choose from within the state, but it also means less of the batch to batch shade variation risk that comes with sourcing from many small competing units in a crowded cluster.

Manufacturers Actually Producing Tiles in Andhra Pradesh

These seven names run real production facilities within the state, not just a sales office carrying an Andhra Pradesh address.

1. RAK Ceramics India

Operating out of Samalkot in East Godavari district, this is RAK Ceramics' largest and most modern vitrified tile plant in India, part of a global group headquartered in the UAE with a combined production capacity across all its plants running into the hundreds of millions of square metres annually.

2. Kajaria Ceramics

India's largest tile manufacturer by capacity runs one of its nine plants at Srikalahasti in Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh, alongside its other plants spread across Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telangana, Gujarat, and Nepal.

3. Simpolo

Best known for its Morbi operations, Simpolo also runs manufacturing lines in Andhra Pradesh, giving the Gujarat headquartered brand a genuine South Indian production footprint rather than relying solely on freight from Gujarat to serve southern states.

4. Anjani Tiles Limited

Based in Kakinada and marketing under the Anjani Tek brand, this homegrown manufacturer produces vitrified and ceramic tiles sold across Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Odisha, and West Bengal, positioning itself as a South Indian alternative to the Gujarat majors.

5. Vennar Ceramics Limited

Operating out of Krishna district and promoted, like Anjani Tiles, by Anjani Vishnu Holdings Limited, Vennar Ceramics manufactures ceramic glazed wall tiles as part of the same regional group's combined production base.

6. Regency Ceramics Limited

A long-standing name in South Indian tile manufacturing, Regency runs its plant in Yanam in East Godavari district. The company went through an operational halt at this unit in past years and has since restarted production, working toward a higher output target and renewed distribution across Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Odisha.

7. Silica Ceramica Pvt Ltd

Another Kakinada-based manufacturer, Silica Ceramica adds to the concentration of tile production specifically around the Godavari delta region rather than being spread evenly across the state.

National Brands With a Strong Andhra Pradesh Dealer Network

These names do not manufacture inside Andhra Pradesh, but they carry a significant retail and dealer presence across the state's major cities, and buyers researching options locally will run into all of them.

None of this makes these brands a lesser option for an Andhra Pradesh buyer, since national scale often brings a wider design catalogue and more established quality certification than a smaller regional manufacturer can match. The distinction matters mainly for buyers who specifically want to support or verify local production, or for large projects where freight cost from Gujarat versus a shorter run from an in-state plant genuinely changes the economics of the order.

City-Based Sourcing Hubs Within Andhra Pradesh

Alongside named manufacturers and brands, the practical reality for most buyers is walking into a dealer in one of the state's major cities, and three hubs stand out for the density and range of tile sellers they carry.

These hubs also tend to carry a different mix of stock depending on their proximity to the manufacturing belt itself. Dealers closer to the Godavari delta, including those in and around Kakinada and Rajahmundry, often carry a stronger in-stock selection of Anjani Tek, Vennar, and Regency ranges simply because freight from those factories is shorter, while dealers further south in Tirupati and further inland tend to carry a broader mix weighted toward Gujarat manufactured stock, since it arrives through the same wider distribution channels serving most of South India.

13. Visakhapatnam (Vizag)

The state's largest coastal city carries the deepest concentration of tile dealers, spread across localities including Dwarakanagar, Siripuram, and Waltair, useful for comparing several brands and price points within a short distance of each other.

14. Vijayawada

As a central commercial hub for the state, Vijayawada's dealer network serves both individual homeowners and contractors working across the Krishna and Guntur districts, with easy access to both AP-manufactured and Gujarat-sourced ranges.

15. Tirupati

A smaller but active market, Tirupati's dealers, concentrated around areas like Royal Nagar near the Annamayya Circle, serve both the city's residential demand and the steady flow of construction tied to the region's temple town economy.

16. TilesFinders

The 15 names above are who actually make and sell tiles in and around Andhra Pradesh. TilesFinders itself is neither; it's a directory platform where buyers can search dealers and manufacturers like these, compare what they carry, and request quotes directly, instead of calling around or visiting showroom after showroom to find who actually stocks what they need.

Buying Local Versus Ordering From a Manufacturer Directly

For a homeowner or small contractor in Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, or Tirupati, a local dealer remains the simplest route, offering same-day or next-day access to stock without freight delays. For a builder or a large residential project needing consistent shade and volume, working directly with an Andhra Pradesh manufacturer such as RAK Ceramics or Kajaria's Srikalahasti plant can cut both cost and transit time compared to freighting the same quantity down from Gujarat, since the production is already within the state or a short distance from it. Where a specific design only comes from a Gujarat manufacturer, sourcing through a supplier platform such as TilesFinders, which connects buyers to verified Morbi manufacturers, remains the more practical route for that particular range.

Minimum order quantities matter just as much as location when weighing this decision. A dealer in any of the three city hubs can typically hand over a few boxes the same day, which suits a single room or small repair job well, while a direct factory order, whether from an Andhra Pradesh plant or a Morbi manufacturer, usually needs a pallet-level quantity to make sense, often several hundred square feet at minimum. This makes the local dealer route the more sensible choice for most individual homeowners, even when the underlying tile is manufactured within the state, simply because the order size does not justify going around the dealer network.

What Tiles Cost in Andhra Pradesh in 2027

These figures reflect general retail ranges rather than a quote from any single company, and actual pricing depends on design, finish, and current input costs. Buyers working on a large order should request a current rate card directly from the manufacturer or dealer rather than relying on a published range.

Verifying a Manufacturer or Supplier Before You Order

Given how many listings for Andhra Pradesh mix genuine manufacturers with dealers, traders, and companies that simply hold a registered address in the state, it is worth confirming a few things before committing to a sizeable order. Ask directly whether the company manufactures the tile itself or sources it from another producer under its own brand, request the GST registration and cross-check it against the company name, and where possible ask for a recent photo or short video from the actual production floor rather than relying on catalogue images alone. This matters more for a company claiming to manufacture, since a trading firm presenting itself as a producer is a different risk profile than a dealer who is upfront about reselling stock from elsewhere.

Connect With Verified Andhra Pradesh and Morbi Suppliers

Whether the right fit is an Andhra Pradesh manufacturer, a national brand with a strong local dealer network, or a Gujarat producer for a specific design, the practical first step for any sizeable order is confirming who actually manufactures the tile and at what minimum quantity. TilesFinders connects buyers to verified dealers and manufacturers across both regions, making it easier to place the right order with the right supplier.
