Ceigall India Limited is charting a sharper leadership course as it moves to bolster its executive bench. In a board meeting held on June 29, 2026, the company approved the appointment of Ayyalusamy Saravanan as an Additional Director / Whole-Time Director, designated as Whole-Time Director and CEO, effective July 01, 2026, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming AGM. Saravanan brings to the table nearly 33 years of infrastructure sector experience, with leadership stints at MW High Tech Projects India Pvt. Ltd. and a track record of high-profile EPC highway projects and large-scale industrial facilities across India. He also serves on multiple Ceigall entities’ boards, signaling a consolidation of leadership across the group’s expanding portfolio.
The board also named Dr. Pawan Kumar as an Additional Director / Whole-Time Director, to take effect from July 01, 2026, for a two-year term ending June 30, 2028, subject to shareholder approval. Dr. Kumar is portrayed as an accomplished infrastructure professional with 33 years of experience, holding degrees in civil engineering, highways engineering, and a Ph.D. from IIT Roorkee. His appointment aligns with Ceigall’s intent to strengthen project management, contract oversight, and techno-legal leadership across its operations, with Dr. Kumar currently involved in several Ceigall Boards and energy and highway-focused ventures within the group.
In a separate development, the board accepted the resignation of Sudhir Rao Hoshing as Whole-Time Director, effective at the close of business hours on July 15, 2026, citing family commitments and personal exigencies. The resignation letter detailing this departure has been filed with the company records. Taken together, the moves reflect Ceigall’s ongoing strategy to refresh its executive leadership as it pursues rapid execution across its growing highway, infrastructure, and energy projects, while awaiting the necessary shareholder clearances at the AGM to formalize these appointments.
The changes underscore Ceigall’s emphasis on reinforcing leadership strength at the top as it scales its project portfolio and navigates a period of accelerated growth.
