Kolkata : Halder Venture Limited, a century-old agri-processing and rice milling company, has made its debut on the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) through a direct listing of its equity shares. A total of 1,24,38,135 equity shares, each with a face value of ₹10, have been listed on the NSE, representing the company’s entire paid-up equity share capital of ₹12.43 crore.
The NSE listing marks a significant milestone in Halder Venture Limited’s long-standing journey in India’s agri and food processing sector. The company was first listed on the Calcutta Stock Exchange in 1984, followed by its listing on the BSE main board in 2016. With its entry onto the NSE mainboard—India’s largest equity exchange—the company further strengthens its capital market presence and investor accessibility.
Commenting on the development, Mr. Keshab Kumar Halder, Managing Director, Halder Venture Limited, said the NSE listing represents a defining phase in the company’s transformation from a heritage rice and oil milling enterprise into a professionally governed, scaled agri-processing and FMCG-led organisation. He noted that the listing is expected to enhance investor visibility, liquidity, and institutional participation, while improving access to capital markets and supporting disciplined capital allocation. According to him, the move will enable the company to accelerate long-term growth and shareholder value creation, while remaining anchored to strong governance and operational excellence.
The NSE listing follows the successful completion of a court-approved corporate restructuring, under which several group entities were amalgamated into Halder Venture Limited. This included the acquisition of the Haldia unit of K.S. Oil Limited, which has significantly expanded the company’s edible oil processing capacity and strengthened its manufacturing footprint in Eastern India. Located near Haldia Port, the facility is expected to improve supply chain efficiency and facilitate deeper regional market penetration.
Going forward, Halder Venture Limited plans to focus on building value-added businesses across food and agri-tech segments. The company aims to expand into new international markets across Asia, Africa, and Europe, while strengthening its domestic presence in rice, edible oils, and vegetarian protein meal categories. Future initiatives also include entry into organic and traceable food products, agri-tech innovation, and sustainability-led growth aligned with responsible environmental practices.As of January 19, 2026, Halder Venture Limited’s market capitalisation on the BSE stood at approximately ₹338.80 crore.
