How Karnataka's iconic Mysore Sandal Soap overshot targets, clocked highest ever sales

(NOTE: This article was originally published in the India Today issue dated July 14, 2025)In mid-May, one of Karnataka's best-known cultural brands, Mysore Sandal Soap, found itself in a bit of lather. Pro-Kannada activists were upset that Karnataka Soaps & Detergents Ltd (KS&DL), the state-owned company that manufactures the iconic 109-year-old soap, had chosen actor Tamannaah Bhatia as its brand ambassador instead of a Kannadiga celebrity. But even as it hastened to defuse the row, KS&DL had much to thank the controversy for. The firm clocked its best-ever sales for the month of May at Rs 186 crore, a 24 per cent bump from the target of Rs 150 The soap maker has been on a winning streak in the past few years, with annual sales almost doubling since 2020-21 to Rs 1,780 crore in 2024-25; net profit grew almost four-fold from Rs 113 crore to Rs 415 crore in the same period. Ramping up production and online marketing played a big role in this, says its MD, Prashanth India accounts for over 80 per cent of the sales for KS&DL, with Andhra Pradesh the biggest market. Hence, the push into other regions, especially the north. It's also why 'pan-India star' Tamannaah was signed up. KS&DL has set itself a target of Rs 5,000 crore in annual turnover by 2028. It is investing Rs 250 crore in a new plant at Vijayapura in north Karnataka and also eyeing diversification into new products. 'We are taking it nationaland even international in the future,' says M.B. Patil, Karnataka's minister of large and medium industries. 'Then perhaps we'll need a Hollywood celebrity to endorse us,' he to India Today Magazine- EndsMust Watch

Contractors send second legal notice to Maha govt over Rs 90,000-crore unpaid bills

Pune: The Maharashtra unit of the Builders' Association of India (BAI) has issued a second legal notice to state govt, demanding immediate payment of over Rs 90,000 crore in dues to contractors. The association has given govt a 15-day ultimatum, warning of approaching Bombay HC if their demands were not met. The reminder notice, dated July 2, was sent through BAI's legal counsel and addressed to the CM, chief secretary, additional chief secretary (home) and senior officials across 26 govt departments. The first notice, sent earlier this year, received no response. "Contractors have completed works and raised bills, which have remained upaid. Many have borrowed heavily from banks to complete govt projects and now face default notices. ..The financial stress is pushing several of our members to the brink of bankruptcy. We urge govt to release the dues without any delay," ," BAI said in a statement. The unpaid bills span a range of public works, from roads and bridges to irrigation and infrastructure projects, executed across state departments and local bodies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ditch the cinema with boAt Boat Buy Now Undo You Can Also Check: Pune AQI | Weather in Pune | Bank Holidays in Pune | Public Holidays in Pune BAI members said as these dues remained unsettled, the state continued to float new tenders for infrastructure works worth thousand crores of rupees. "This is not just unfair, it is untenable. How can new tenders be floated when existing contractors haven't been paid for completed works?" a senior BAI member asked. The association said it was prepared to file a petition in Bombay HC if govt did not take any concrete action. "We hoped the matter would be resolved through dialogue. But the silence from govt's side leaves us with no option but to seek judicial intervention," the member said. BAI has also appealed to the CM to convene a high-level meeting with all departments concerned to resolve the issue urgently.
