The combined net profit made by all 40 State PSUs under the Industries Department was 110.41 crore in 2012–13. However, from 2013 to 2014 onwards, the combined net profits of these State PSUs has been negative. It was (-)131.9 crore in 2015–16, and in 2016-17 financial year the loss reduced to Rs 80.67 crore.

In a 2016 study, Kochi-based [[think tank]] Centre for Public Policy and Research stated that Kerala government should take a cue from the [[disinvestment]] process initiated at the Centre and initiate it at the State level, as Kerala has the case of large number of PSUs in the state that were closed, as they were not able to withstand the competition in the market.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/national/call-to-divest-from-lossmaking-psus/article8793120.ece|title=Call to divest from loss-making PSUs|last=Kumar|first=V Sajeev|date=2016-06-30|work=The Hindu Business Line|access-date=2017-10-02|language=en}}</ref> During the fiscal year 2016-2017, PSUs in Kerala incurred a net loss of ₹80.67 crore. According to Kerala's state industrial department, the PSUs had a combined net profit of {{INR}}106.91 crore in 2017-2018; there were total 42 PSUs.<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/from-rs-131-6-crore-net-loss-kerala-s-psus-post-rs-106-91-crore-net-profit-in-2-years-1242712-2018-05-26|title=From Rs 131.6 crore net loss, Kerala's PSUs post Rs 106.91 crore net profit in 2 years|author=P. S. Gopikrishnan Unnithan |date=May 27, 2018 |magazine=India Today}}</ref> In 2018–19, 17 PSUs had registered operational profit, according to the state industrial department.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/2019/apr/11/17-psus-in-kerala-register-operational-profit-as-13-clock-net-profit-1962900.html|title=17 PSUs in Kerala register operational profit as 13 clock net profit|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref> For the fiscal year 2020-21, the annual review report by the Bureau of Public Enterprises calculated a total net loss of {{INR}}6,055.47 crore from public enterprises in the state. Among these, 63 enterprises were loss-making, while 50 managed to make a profit. Top 10 loss-making enterprises together contributed to 95.39 percent of the total losses. [[Kerala State Road Transport Corporation|KSRTC]] topped with a loss of {{INR}}1,976.03 crore which was 30.08% of the total loss, [[KSEB]] came second with a loss of {{INR}}1,822.35 crore, representing 27.74% of the total loss, and [[Kerala State Beverages Corporation]] came third with a loss of {{INR}}1,608.17 crore, accounting 24.48 percent of total loss.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Vidyanandan |first1=M.

17 public sector units in the state had registered operational profit in the financial year 2018–19 with a total operating profit of Rs 330.36 crore and a net profit of Rs 258.29 crore.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/2019/apr/11/17-psus-in-kerala-register-operational-profit-as-13-clock-net-profit-1962900.html|title=17 PSUs in Kerala register operational profit as 13 clock net profit|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref>

The increased dependency on budgetary support even for continuing regular operations of PSUs was a major concern during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan. However, from the last year of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan (2016–17) onwards, major initiatives for strengthening and revamping of PSUs under the Industries Department are being undertaken. Five units namely Travancore Titanium Products Ltd., Travancore Cochin Chemicals Ltd., Traco Cable Company Ltd., Steel Industrial Forgings Ltd. and Transformers and Electricals Kerala Ltd. have seen a turn around in 2016–17. But in 2017–18, PSUs under Industries Department have made remarkable achievements. The combined net profit made by all 40 State PSUs as on 30 August 2017 was 21.5 crore. It is notable that these PSUs have registered positive combined net profit after incurring net combined losses for 4 years.<ref name="auto"/>

State PSUs under the Industries department have been showing sign of improvement from 2016 to 2017 onwards. Thirteen State PSUs under the Industries Department reported profits in 2016-17 as against only eight in 2015–16.

The number of loss-making State PSUs decreased from 32 in 2015–16 to 27 in 2016–17, and the total losses made by loss-making State PSUs during this period also decreased from 226.6 crore to 180.5 crore.<ref name="auto"/>

Kerala Government have chosen to restructure the loss making units and not [[privatisation]].<ref>Restructuring public enterprises in India: privatisation and disinvestment By R. K. Mishra, B. Navin 2002.</ref>

"Kerala government should take a cue from the disinvestment process initiated at the Centre and initiate it at the State level" was a popular opinion held prior to 2016 . However the case seems to changing and now PSUs offer tremendous hope to Kerala .<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/national/call-to-divest-from-lossmaking-psus/article8793120.ece|title=Call to divest from loss-making PSUs|last=Kumar|first=V Sajeev|date=2016-06-30|work=The Hindu Business Line|access-date=2017-10-02|language=en}}</ref>

Districts of Kerala

Public sector undertakings in Kerala are of two types, public sector units in which majority shares are owned by Union Government and public sector units in which majority shares are owned by State Government. Public sector undertakings in Kerala,[1][2] i.e. enterprises in which majority shareholder is Government of Kerala are generally divided into Manufacturing & Non-Manufacturing. Some of the PSUs such as Kinfra, KSIDC, SIDCO etc. are promotional agencies.[3] As of 2004 there were 104 enterprises spread over 14 different sectors of Kerala economy. These sectors are as varied as engineering, electronics to wood products & welfare agencies. Eleven units are joint venture of Kerala government with the central government. Most of state PSUs units are under Department of Industries & Commerce (85 enterprises).

The largest enterprises[4] (Based on 2005 figures)

Rank Based on capital investment Based on turnover Based on profitability Based on employment
1 Kerala State Electricity Board Kerala State Electricity Board Kerala State Electricity Board Kerala State Road Transport Corporation Kerala State Road Transport Corporation
2 Kerala Water Authority Kerala State Beverages Corporation. Kerala State Financial Enterprises Ltd. The Kerala State Cashew Development Corporation Limited Kerala Water Authority.
3 Kerala State Housing Board Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. Kerala Minerals and Metals Ltd. Kerala State Housing Board Kerala State Civil Supplies Corporation Limited

In 2002, it was reported that Kerala government have chosen to either restructure or close the loss-making enterprises and has no plan for privatisation.[5] As per CAG report for 2008-2009, Kerala PSUs lack accountability, and needs improvement for imbibing professionalism and efficiency. It showed an incurred loss of ₹589 crore. Losses in PSUs were attributed to poor financial management, planning, implementation of projects, running of operations and monitoring.[6] In 2012–13, out of the 78 PSUs which had finalised their accounts during that fiscal year, 45 PSUs earned a total profit of ₹666.86 crore and 31 PSUs incurred loss of ₹607.34 crore, as per CAG report. Kerala State Beverages Corporation was the most profit making PSU, while the Kerala State Electricity Board incurred an operational loss of ₹3,758.17 crore.[7]

In a 2016 study, Kochi-based think tank Centre for Public Policy and Research stated that Kerala government should take a cue from the disinvestment process initiated at the Centre and initiate it at the State level, as Kerala has the case of large number of PSUs in the state that were closed, as they were not able to withstand the competition in the market.[8] During the fiscal year 2016-2017, PSUs in Kerala incurred a net loss of ₹80.67 crore. According to Kerala's state industrial department, the PSUs had a combined net profit of ₹106.91 crore in 2017-2018; there were total 42 PSUs.[9] In 2018–19, 17 PSUs had registered operational profit, according to the state industrial department.[10] For the fiscal year 2020-21, the annual review report by the Bureau of Public Enterprises calculated a total net loss of ₹6,055.47 crore from public enterprises in the state. Among these, 63 enterprises were loss-making, while 50 managed to make a profit. Top 10 loss-making enterprises together contributed to 95.39 percent of the total losses. KSRTC topped with a loss of ₹1,976.03 crore which was 30.08% of the total loss, KSEB came second with a loss of ₹1,822.35 crore, representing 27.74% of the total loss, and Kerala State Beverages Corporation came third with a loss of ₹1,608.17 crore, accounting 24.48 percent of total loss.[11]
