Kajaria Ceramics has announced a major board reorganization as part of a planned generational succession. Mr. Ashok Kajaria (78), the founder, is stepping back from his role as Managing Director and will serve as Chairman (whole-time director) for 5 years starting October 1, 2025. His two sons — Mr. Chetan Kajaria and Mr. Rishi Kajaria, both previously Joint Managing Directors for over a decade — are being elevated: Chetan becomes Vice Chairman and Rishi takes over as Managing Director. All appointments are for 5-year terms and subject to shareholder approval. Separately, the company will increase its investment in subsidiary Kajaria Adhesive Private Limited (KAPL) from Rs. 16 crore to Rs. 23 crore, plus provide Rs. 6 crore for working capital, to fund a new tile-adhesive manufacturing plant in Erode, Tamil Nadu.
This is a smooth, well-timed succession with no disruption — the next generation of the promoter family is formally taking over executive leadership while the founder stays involved as Chairman. Shareholders should see continuity in strategy and execution. The investment in KAPL signals expansion into the tile-adhesive segment, a natural adjacency to the core tile business, though the subsidiary is currently loss-making and pre-revenue.
