Kothari Industrial Corporation Limited has unveiled Vision 2030, a strategic roadmap designed to accelerate growth across agriculture, drones, precision farming, and footwear manufacturing. The company aims to position itself at the intersection of technology and manufacturing to create long-term value and contribute to India's economic growth. Chairman and Managing Director Dr. Rafiq Jinnah Ahmed stated that the investments are aimed at building sustainable businesses that generate value for farmers, customers, employees, and shareholders.

Agriculture and Precision Farming

The company's Fertilizers & Agro Division, operational since 1962, manages blending facilities in Trichy, Vellore, and Madurai. KICL manufactures customized fertilizer mixtures and markets a portfolio of speciality nutrients, bio-fertilizers, and crop protection solutions. The company is developing a Farmer Identity-Linked Precision Agriculture Platform to integrate farmer identity, landholding information, and soil nutrient intelligence. This platform is intended to transform KICL from a conventional agri-input supplier into a technology-enabled agricultural intelligence company.

Drone and Geospatial Expansion

KICL's Drone & Geospatial Division undertakes large-scale surveys for the National Highways Authority of India and supports mining surveys for Keltron and the Kerala Government. The company is investing in indigenous drone manufacturing and progressing through the DGCA Type Certification process. It has established a Remote Pilot Training Organisation (RPTO) to build a skilled workforce. The division is also expanding the use of agricultural drones for precision spraying to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact.

Footwear Manufacturing and Brands

The company has established a joint venture with Taiwan's Evervan Shoe Town Group, setting up two manufacturing facilities in Tamil Nadu. The facility in Perambalur produces for Crocs, while the Karur facility is scheduled to commence production for Adidas in July 2026. These plants will create a capacity of nearly 80 million pairs annually. KICL holds a 30-year licence for the Kickers brand across nine countries and has acquired the Zodiz and Jeetlo brands, which are available in over 2,500 retail outlets.

Vision 2030 Targets

KICL aims to significantly expand revenues from its agriculture and drone businesses. The company has set a target to contribute at least 10% of India's footwear exports by 2030. It is also establishing a joint venture with Italy's IUAD to offer design education from August 2026 and has partnered with institutions in Italy, Spain, and France for skill development.
