• Ms. Savitha Krishnamoorthy, currently General Manager – Human Resources, has been appointed as Head (HR & Admin) w.e.f. October 05, 2026. She will be categorised as 'Senior Management Personnel' of the Company from the same date.

How to read this

• This is a change at the senior management level, not at the board level. The role being filled is Head (HR & Admin), which the Company treats as a Senior Management Personnel position.
• The succession is internal: the incoming appointee is already a General Manager – Human Resources within the Company, and the outgoing Head continues as an advisor.
• The two dates run back to back — the retirement is on October 04, 2026 and the new appointment takes effect from October 05, 2026.
• For a retail investor, this is a routine management update rather than a business or financial event; it tells you who holds a key people-function role, but it does not change the Company's operations or accounts by itself.
