Latest Updates on KSE Limited

• During FY 2022–23, KSE recorded notable volume trends: milk sales up 23.76% and ice cream volumes up by nearly 40%. The dairy business invested Rs 2.70 crores in advertising to support the Vesta ice cream brand; margins remained pressured due to higher milk procurement costs and competitive pricing during market re-entry. In the oil cake line, refined coconut oil volumes rose 4.48%; however, a steep fall in realisation per ton affected turnover in that division.

 

• Strategically, the company has engaged Grant Thornton to conduct a detailed study of external opportunities and threats and internal strengths and weaknesses, aimed at formulating a growth strategy focused on profitability, operational excellence and accountability to shareholders. KSE has also emphasised building organisational capabilities, exploring new geographic markets, investing in R&D, and strengthening employee learning and training.

 

• Operations span multiple locations in Kerala (Irinjalakuda, Koratty, Vedagiri, Palakkad, Konikkara and Kottayam) and Tamil Nadu (Swaminathapuram and Thalayuthu), with outsourced units at Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram and Palakkad, and a branch in Kozhikode . The company’s shares are listed on BSE Limited under the stock code 519421.
