Halder Venture Limited, a leading agri-processing and rice milling company, today marked a significant milestone with the successful listing of its equity shares on the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE).
A total of 1,24,38,135 equity shares of face value INR 10 each have been listed on the NSE, representing the Company’s entire paid-up equity share capital of INR 12.43 crore.
This NSE listing represents the latest chapter in Halder Venture Limited’s 100-year journey in India’s agri and food processing value chain. The Company was first listed on the Calcutta Stock Exchange in 1984, followed by its listing on the main board of BSE Limited in 2016, and now joins the NSE Mainboard, India’s largest equity exchange, further strengthening its capital market presence.
Commenting on the milestone, Mr. Keshab Kumar Halder, Managing Director, Halder Venture Limited, said, “Our listing on the NSE marks a defining moment in Halder Venture Limited’s century-long journey, from a heritage rice and oil milling enterprise to a professionally governed, scaled agri-processing and FMCG-led organization. This milestone significantly enhances our investor visibility, liquidity and institutional engagement. It increases access to the capital and equity markets, creating a stronger framework for institutional investors and broader participation. We believe this platform will encourage disciplined capital allocation and create a platform for accelerated growth across various sectors, while generating value for our shareholders. This marks the next chapter in our growth journey, one that will accelerate long-term value creation and enable us to expand our global footprint while staying anchored to strong governance and operational excellence.”
The NSE listing follows the successful completion of court approved corporate restructuring, where several group companies were amalgamated with Halder Venture Limited, including the acquisition of the Haldia Unit of K.S. Oil Limited. The acquisition last year has added a significant edible oil processing capacity to the Company’s portfolio and strengthened its manufacturing presence in Eastern India. Strategically located near Haldia Port, the facility enhances supply chain efficiency and supports deeper regional market penetration.
Looking ahead, Halder Venture Limited is focused on building future-ready, value-added businesses across food and agri-tech segments. The Company aims to expand its presence in new geographies across Asia, Africa, and Europe, while deepening domestic penetration of its rice, edible oil, and vegetarian protein meal offerings. Future priorities also include entry into value-added organic foods with assured traceability, agri-tech initiatives, product innovations, and sustainability-led growth aligned with responsible environmental practices.
As on January 19, 2026, the Company’s market capitalisation on the BSE stood at approximately INR 338.80 crore.
