Mr. Sanjay Kirloskar, the promoter and current Chairman & MD, was re-appointed as Managing Director from November 19, 2025 to March 21, 2027. The company also appointed PwC as co-sourced Internal Auditor, Dinesh Birla & Associates as Secretarial Auditor (5 years), and Harshad S. Deshpande & Associates as Cost Auditor for FY 2025-26.
