New Delhi: In a key leadership update, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has announced that its Chairman and Managing Director Kota Ravi has been entrusted with the additional charge of Director (Operations).
The development follows approval from the Ministry of Defence, Government of India, as communicated through an official letter dated 11 May 2026.
Interim Responsibility for Three Months
According to the company’s regulatory filing submitted to stock exchanges, the additional responsibility will be effective from 1 May 2026 for a period of three months, or until a new incumbent assumes charge of the position, whichever is earlier.
The disclosure was made in compliance with SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 and has been formally shared with both BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India.
Strengthening Operational Leadership
The temporary assignment places additional operational oversight under the leadership of Kota Ravi, who currently heads the defence PSU as Chairman and Managing Director. The move is expected to ensure continuity in operational leadership during the interim period until a full-time Director (Operations) is appointed.
HAL plays a critical role in India’s aerospace and defence manufacturing ecosystem, and leadership continuity remains crucial for ongoing projects and production commitments.
