Hindustan Composites completed the slump sale of its Friction Business Undertaking to Rane (Madras) Ltd effective 20 Aug 2026, under the 30 June 2026 Business Transfer Agreement. Four senior management personnel have been transferred to RML as part of the deal. MD and KMP Pawan Kumar Choudhary resigned as MD and KMP to join RML, but continues on the board as Non-Executive Director.
Company exits friction segment; remaining business likely gets sharper focus. Leadership continuity preserved as outgoing MD stays as Non-Executive Director.
