==Renovation==
In 2017, [[Pinarayi Vijayan]] led [[Left Democratic Front (Kerala)|LDF]] Government in [[Kerala]] commissioned a temporary [[Liquefied petroleum gas|LPG]] plant. This helped to reduce the production cost from ₹8,500 to ₹5,000-₹5,500. This enabled the company to generate $70 million in annual sales from a loss-making past. The newly renovated refining and filter pass plants will be inaugurated by [[List of chief ministers of Kerala|Chief Minister]] Pinarayi Vijayan on 22 September 2020.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/renovated-facilities-for-kerala-ceramics/article32657025.ece|title=Renovated facilities for Kerala Ceramics|publisher=The Hindu Express|date=2020-09-21|access-date=2020-09-21}}</ref>
