Be the first to review

Kesoram was founded in 1919 under the name of Kesoram Cotton Mills Ltd. From its humble beginnings as a cotton textile mill in Calcutta, Kesoram expanded into the production of rayon. Its first rayon plant was built in 1959, with a production capacity of 4,635 metric tons of rayon yarn per year.

The spirit of entrepreneurship did not end there. Kesoram soon entered the tyres and cement industries. A change of name was needed to reflect the companyâ€™s increasing portfolio of businesses. So in 1986, it changed its name to Kesoram Industries Limited

Since then, Kesoramâ€™s operations have grown from strength to strength. Its reputation is recognised today by its listings on four global stock exchanges â€“ National Stock Exchange of India, Bombay Stock Exchange, Calcutta Stock Exchange Association, and the Societe de la Bourse de Luxembourg.
