Kerala Minerals and Metals Ltd is an integrated titanium dioxide manufacturing public sector undertaking in Kollam, Kerala, India.
The Company was established in 1932 in Kollam, India.

It is one of the best performing Public Sector Units in India.

Its operations comprise mining, mineral separation, synthetic rutile and pigment-production plants.

Apart from producing rutile-grade titanium dioxide pigment for various types of industries, it also produces other products like ilmenite, rutile, zircon, sillimanite, synthetic rutile etc.

In 1909 the German scientist Dr. Schomberg found traces of monazite in the sand flakes on the imported coir from Sankaramangalam.

The rare earth minerals made the beach an area of scientific interest.

By 1932, a private entrepreneur established the F. X. Perira and Sons (Travancore) Pvt. Ltd, the forerunner to KMML.

The unit was subsequently converted as a limited company in 1972 by the name of ‘The Kerala Minerals and Metals Ltd.’
