Mr. Atul Kirloskar (DIN 00007387) will retire as Chairman and resign as Non-Executive Non-Independent Director of Kirloskar Oil Engines Limited effective close of working hours on 31st March 2026, citing he has reached the age of 70 years. Mr. Rahul Kirloskar (DIN 00007319), currently a Non-Executive Non-Independent Director, has been appointed as the new Chairman of the Company with effect from 1st April 2026, on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Additionally, Ms. Gauri Kirloskar (DIN 03366274), who continues as Managing Director (re-appointed at the AGM on 7th August 2025 for a 3-year term), has been additionally designated as Vice-Chairperson of the Company with effect from 1st April 2026, with her existing terms and remuneration unchanged. The Board has placed on record its appreciation for Atul Kirloskar's contributions. This represents an orderly, planned promoter family succession at the top of the Company.
The transition is a planned, orderly handover within the promoter Kirloskar family — continuity of family stewardship is maintained, which most retail investors will view as neutral to mildly positive. However, the Chairman role is again filled by a non-independent, non-executive promoter director, which may draw attention from governance-focused investors regarding the absence of an independent chair.
