KEI Industries Limited has reinforced its commitment to social development by allocating Rs 12.91 crore towards Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives during the financial year 2024-25. The company’s CSR expenditure not only fulfilled its statutory obligation under the Companies Act, 2013, but also marginally exceeded the mandated requirement, reflecting its continued focus on community welfare and sustainable development.
According to the company’s annual disclosures, KEI Industries reported an average net profit of approximately Rs 645.41 crore over the preceding three financial years. Based on this figure, the company’s CSR obligation for FY2025 was calculated at around Rs 12.91 crore. The organization successfully deployed the entire amount across a range of social initiatives, with spending slightly surpassing the required threshold by nearly Rs 9 lakh.
A major share of the CSR budget was directed toward addressing hunger and food insecurity. KEI Industries partnered with charitable organizations to support large-scale meal distribution programmes aimed at underprivileged communities. Around Rs 3.05 crore was spent on hunger-relief initiatives, benefiting more than 14 lakh individuals. The company also invested in kitchen infrastructure to strengthen the capacity of community feeding programmes and ensure consistent access to nutritious meals for vulnerable populations.
Healthcare emerged as another key focus area during the year. The company supported projects designed to improve access to quality medical facilities and patient care. One of the flagship initiatives included financial assistance for a cardiac care unit in Uttarakhand, with an investment of approximately Rs 4.10 crore. KEI Industries also backed accommodation facilities near major healthcare institutions, helping families of patients access affordable lodging during treatment. These efforts were aimed at strengthening healthcare infrastructure and improving patient support services.
Worker welfare and safety remained central to the company’s CSR strategy. Through its “Suraksha Jyoti” initiative, KEI Industries conducted awareness programmes for electricians, particularly those employed in the unorganized sector. The initiative reached more than 5,600 workers through training sessions focused on workplace safety, social security schemes, and welfare benefits. Safety equipment, including protective gear, was distributed to participants, helping reduce occupational risks and promote safer working environments. Around Rs 87 lakh was allocated to these activities.
The company also continued its efforts in education and skill development. Approximately Rs 50 lakh was invested in educational programmes targeting underserved communities and rural regions. The initiatives supported access to learning opportunities while also extending assistance to organizations working with children with special needs, including those affected by developmental and neurological conditions. The programmes were designed to foster inclusive education and create long-term social benefits.
Environmental sustainability formed an integral part of KEI Industries’ CSR agenda. The company undertook tree plantation drives, promoted renewable energy usage, and implemented measures to reduce its environmental footprint. During the year, it generated more than 42 lakh units of renewable energy, demonstrating its commitment to responsible business practices and climate-conscious growth.
In addition, the company supported animal welfare and community development projects, contributing to local infrastructure improvements and social support programmes. Oversight of all CSR initiatives was provided by a dedicated CSR Committee, ensuring compliance, transparency, and effective implementation of projects.
Overall, KEI Industries’ CSR initiatives during FY2025 reached more than 18 lakh beneficiaries across multiple sectors. By balancing immediate support measures with long-term development projects, the company has continued to strengthen its contribution to social progress while aligning its efforts with broader national development goals.
