The Board of Directors approved several key decisions at its May 22, 2025 meeting. Mr. Pavan Kumar Jain, the current CFO and Key Managerial Personnel (KMP), will superannuate and be relieved from close of business hours on August 15, 2025; Mr. Hemant Kumar Kadel has been appointed as the new CFO and KMP effective August 16, 2025. Mr. Sailesh Kumar Daga, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, has resigned to pursue opportunities outside the company, with his exit effective July 15, 2025. The Board also approved the audited standalone and consolidated financial results for FY25, recommending a dividend of ₹10 per equity share (face value ₹2) subject to shareholder approval. On the financial front, standalone revenue from operations grew to ₹31,563.23 crore from ₹25,847.33 crore in FY24, but net profit fell sharply to ₹212.10 crore from ₹945.39 crore, with Q4 FY25 posting a standalone net loss of ₹287.99 crore, partly due to a ₹114 crore exceptional charge linked to a joint venture impairment.
The CFO transition is planned and orderly (successor already named), which should limit any governance concerns, while the Company Secretary exit is a routine departure. The sharp drop in standalone net profit and the Q4 loss may weigh on short-term sentiment, though the ₹10 dividend offers some support to income-focused shareholders. The Paint business ramp-up (5 of 6 plants now operational) and UltraTech's Kesoram merger consolidation are positives for the longer-term growth story.
