The Board of Directors of Benares Hotels Ltd, at its meeting on February 24, 2026, appointed Mr. Sumit Singh Deol as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), classified as Key Managerial Personnel, effective the same date. The appointment was made based on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Mr. Deol is an internal appointee, having been associated with IHCL (the Tata Group's hospitality arm) since 2010, starting as a Restaurant Manager at Taj Coromandel, Chennai. He is a Hotel Management graduate from IHM Chennai with strong experience in Food & Beverage and General Management, and has previously led teams at Taj Taal Kutir and Taj Coromandel.
A smooth internal succession at the CEO level, with an experienced hand from the parent IHCL group taking the helm — likely to ensure continuity in operations for shareholders, with no negative governance signals.
