Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
HAL appointed P B Rangarao as an additional director and Director (Operations), effective 28 October 2026, following a Ministry of Defence directive. The appointment is for five years or until further government orders, whichever is earlier, and needs shareholder approval. P B Rangarao, earlier CEO of the Helicopter Complex, has worked at HAL since 1995. Kota Ravi gave up that additional operations role.
A dedicated operations director with deep HAL experience may improve production oversight. Shareholder approval is pending, and no immediate financial impact was stated.
