Where it all began
Pal Stone Industries was Shri Suresh Pal's first venture, founded in 1982 as a supplier of stone and grit from a crushing unit in Haldwani. It grew to serve major clients, including Indian Railways and the Gokul Dam Project, and it remains the foundation that the rest of the group was built on.

As Haldwani grew, Shri Suresh Pal saw a need for well planned, modern housing in the region. That led to Pal Colonisers, which has since delivered residential projects including Pal Sumeera Residency and Palam City, built around the idea that people deserve organized, dependable living spaces, not just buildings.

Shri Suresh Pal later expanded into the automotive sector, building a dealership network under Car Dealerships, including Pal Skoda Haldwani, Pal Nissan Haldwani, and Pal Ford Haldwani. The goal was simple: bring the same trust the group had earned in stone and real estate into car buying and after-sales service.
