Antica Ceramica Launches Geometric Floor Tile Range

02 Mar 2026 CW Team

Antica Ceramica has expanded its premium surface portfolio with the introduction of a new geometric pattern floor tile collection, designed to combine structured aesthetics with long-term performance. Inspired by geometric form and repetition, the range features rhythmic patterns and composed motifs intended to define zones and enhance spatial flow across contemporary interiors.

The tiles are engineered for durability, offering resistance to stains and daily wear, making them suitable for high-traffic environments such as hospitality spaces, bathrooms, kitchens, corridors and lobbies. A non-slip surface texture enhances safety while maintaining visual refinement, addressing functional requirements in both residential and commercial applications.

The collection also ensures consistent colour, uniform texture and dimensional stability to support precise installation across larger areas. Positioned as a low-maintenance alternative to natural stone, the tiles eliminate concerns related to porosity and uneven ageing.

Rahul Bhugra, Director, Antica Ceramica, said, “Geometry has a universal appeal—it brings order, rhythm, and clarity to spaces. With this collection, our intent was to translate that design language into a flooring solution that not only looks striking but also performs reliably across diverse environments. It’s about giving designers a surface they can trust, both visually and functionally.

NITI Aayog Unveils Cement Decarbonisation Roadmap

NITI Aayog has released a sector-specific decarbonisation roadmap for cement as part of three green transition reports covering cement, aluminium and MSMEs. The report projects cement production rising to around 2,100 million tonnes by 2070 from 391 million tonnes in 2023, while targeting a reduction in carbon intensity to 0.09–0.13 tCO₂e per tonne. It recommends clinker substitution, refuse-derived fuels, CCUS adoption and carbon trading mechanisms to enable deep decarbonisation. ..
