KPT.. Where Positive Change is the Only Constant
Over the last 25 years, since its inception, KPT has kept pace with change. An in-depth understanding of changing customer requirements has guided us into delivering world-class quality, in the manufacturing and marketing of electric power tools.
The story of KPT goes further back. It was founded in 1976 as a Joint Venture with Black&Decker, USA. The first sign of radical change occurred in 1993, when KPT celebrated its independence.

KPT seems to be a well run company..reporting losses as promoters are increasing stake in the company..
June 2014: Promoter holding: 43.8%
June 2015: Promoter holding: 48.04%
June 2016: Promoter holding: 48.08%
June 2017: Promoter holding: 48.22%
looking at the Cash Flows from Operations: 10yrs Avg Cash Flows from Operations: +ve 6.95Cr while current market cap is: 10.22Cr (CMP:30.05) The promoters are it seems of conservative in nature...
5 yrs EMA is 36.94 so right now you can buy kulkarni power tools at a price below its 5 yrs avg price of 36.94..
Conclusion: KPT initially started off with Black & Decker and has the right lineage.. with experience they decided to part ways and build their own Power Tool Brand (KPT, Shakti, Power Master).. the company prefers to maintain a low profile.. Power Tools increase the productivity of employees and the country as a whole.. I'm sure as India moves to the next level.. Power tools demand is going to increase through the roof.. and KPT will be there to benefit from it. With GST in place we can expect a more level playing field against chinese imports and KPT and indigenous manufacturers need to lobby for better protection.. I went to a shop to buy a drill and there it was a Chinese drill and it had a market price of 500/- INR printed on it.. I protested to the shopkeeper.. that's its written 500/- and you are saying its cost is 1800/- well he said that to avoid taxes the printed price is always like this for Chinese products.. Players like KPT should step forward and get meaningfull/effective legislation.. well further research landed me to KPT...so some good came out of it..
