Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has announced the appointment of Shri Kota Ravi as Chairman & Managing Director, effective 1st May, 2026. He was previously Director (Operations) at HAL and succeeds to the CMD role based on a Ministry of Defence letter dated 30th April, 2026. His appointment term runs until superannuation on 30th June, 2029, or until further orders from the Ministry, whichever is earlier. Shri Kota Ravi is a Mechanical Engineering graduate with over 30 years of experience in aerospace and defence, having played a key role in securing major contracts including 180 LCA Tejas for IAF and 156 LCH Prachand for the Indian Army and IAF. He was instrumental in obtaining HAL's Maharatna status and has led the LCA Tejas division and corporate planning functions.
The appointment of an internal leader with deep operational experience signals continuity in HAL's strategic direction. This is a routine leadership transition in a government-owned defence PSU, with minimal immediate impact on stock price.
