The KCP Group of Companies had its beginning in the year 1941. It started with a single co-operative sugar factory in the state of Andhra Pradesh in South India with a simple philosophy... ´ Modernise.. Indigenous ..Never compromise on Technology ´ . These were the words of our founder Shri V. Ramakrishna who had stepped down at the age of 51 in those pre-independence turbulent days (before 1947) to take up this challenge.

Since then The KCP Group has diversified into Cement and Heavy Engineering. The KCP Cement Division went operational in 1958 and was India's first dry process kiln.

The KCP Heavy Engineering Division was established in 1955 as a sprawling High Technology Complex in the suburb of Chennai. This complex is one of the largest and highly integrated centers with Casting, Fabrication and Machining facilities required in the manufacture of large infrastructure machinery for core Industries like Sugar, Cement, Steel and Power.
