The board has approved a planned leadership transition at Chemplast Sanmar. Current Managing Director Ramkumar Shankar, whose 5-year term ends on January 31, 2026, has been reappointed for only a 2-month bridge period (February 1 to March 31, 2026) as he has expressed his desire to step down at the close of FY 2025-26. S Ganeshkumar, currently the CEO and Managing Director of TCI Sanmar Chemicals S.A.E. in Egypt (a group-related entity), has been appointed as the new Director and Managing Director for a 3-year term starting April 1, 2026. The board also cleared the second 5-year term reappointment of four Independent Directors — Aditya Jain, Sanjay Vijay Bhandarkar, Dr Lakshmi Vijayakumar, and Prasad Raghava Menon — effective April 26, 2026. All appointments are subject to shareholder approval.
The change at the top is orderly and pre-planned rather than sudden, which should reassure investors. The incoming MD brings 30+ years of chemicals and petrochemicals experience from a related group company, suggesting continuity in the chloro-vinyl business strategy.
