Company Introduction:

KARNATAKA SOAPS & DETERGENTS LIMITED (KSDL) is a well-established Indian public sector undertaking renowned for manufacturing a wide range of personal care and household products. Established in 1916 as the Mysore Government Soap Factory by Maharaja Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar, it has a rich heritage in producing high-quality soaps. KSDL is most famous for its flagship brand, Mysore Sandal Soap, which is recognized globally for its use of pure sandalwood oil.

The company's product portfolio extends beyond soaps to include detergents, shampoos, incense sticks (agarbattis), and other personal care items. KSDL operates its own manufacturing facilities, controlling the production process from raw material sourcing (particularly sandalwood for its iconic soap) to the final product. This vertical integration and focus on manufacturing confirm its status as a factory rather than a trading company. KSDL plays a significant role in the Indian market, maintaining its legacy of quality and traditional craftsmanship while adapting to modern manufacturing standards.
