Linde India Appoints Interim CFO, Reports Q3 & 9M FY26 Results
Linde India Limited approved its Q3 and nine-month financial results ending December 31, 2025. Mr. Ajay Kumar Sah was appointed Interim CFO effective February 16, 2026, succeeding Mr. Neeraj Kumar Jumrani. The company reported standalone revenue from operations of ₹7,010.34 crore for Q3 FY26.
The appointment of an interim CFO is a standard corporate event. However, the extensive discussion on ongoing SEBI investigations and legal appeals, with potentially material financial implications, elevates the impact to medium.
The appointment of an interim CFO is a routine management change. While financial results are presented, the significant portion of the announcement is dedicated to ongoing, complex legal and regulatory matters with uncertain outcomes, which introduces a neutral to cautious sentiment.
Linde India Limited announced the outcome of its Board Meeting held on February 9, 2026. The Board approved the Unaudited Standalone and Consolidated Financial Results for the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025. The company is arranging to upload these results on its website and publish an extract in newspapers.
In a significant management change, the Board approved the appointment of Mr. Ajay Kumar Sah as the Interim Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Company, effective February 16, 2026. This appointment follows the resignation of Mr. Neeraj Kumar Jumrani, who will step down as CFO on February 15, 2026. Mr. Sah, a seasoned finance professional with over 25 years of experience within the Linde group, currently heads Finance for ASEAN & South Asia.
The company also provided updated contact details for its Key Managerial Personnels (KMPs). The Board meeting commenced at 3:30 p.m. and concluded at 5:00 p.m. The financial results indicate revenue from operations of ₹7,010.34 crore for the third quarter ended December 31, 2025, and ₹19,163.07 crore for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, on a standalone basis.
Additionally, the announcement details ongoing regulatory and legal proceedings concerning related party transactions and business allocation with Praxair India Private Limited. The company is awaiting the outcome of an appeal filed before the Hon'ble Supreme Court regarding a SEBI order on these matters. The auditors have noted that while the financial results are presented in accordance with applicable accounting standards, the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings is presently not ascertainable and may impact the financial results.
