Punj Lloyd: Adani Infra Appoints 3 Directors Post Acquisition; Atul Punj Resigns
Punj Lloyd Limited has appointed Mr. Vipin Goel, Mr. Kattunga Srinivasa Rao, and Mr. Rajeev Pal as additional directors, effective March 10, 2026. This follows the acquisition by Adani Infra (India) Limited. Mr. Atul Punj has resigned as a director.
The appointment of new directors and resignation of an existing one is a significant corporate event. However, as the company is in liquidation, the immediate operational or financial impact on the broader market is likely limited, hence rated as medium.
The announcement details a change in directorship following an acquisition. While the acquisition itself could be seen positively, the company is in liquidation, making the overall sentiment neutral as it signifies a procedural step in the resolution process.
Punj Lloyd Limited (in liquidation) has announced the appointment of three additional directors to its board, effective March 10, 2026. This follows the acquisition of the company by Adani Infra (India) Limited ("AIIL"), as approved by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).
The newly appointed directors are Mr. Vipin Goel, Mr. Kattunga Srinivasa Rao, and Mr. Rajeev Pal. Mr. Vipin Goel, a Chartered Accountant, serves as the CFO of Adani Infra (India) Limited and brings over three decades of experience in finance and infrastructure. Mr. Kattunga Srinivasa Rao, a Mechanical Engineer, has more than 30 years of experience in the Power & Infrastructure sector. Mr. Rajeev Pal possesses over two decades of experience in large-scale industrial and infrastructure projects, with expertise in project assurance and execution governance.
Concurrently, Mr. Atul Punj has resigned from his position as a director, effective March 10, 2026, as per the NCLT's orders regarding the change in management. The Liquidator has passed board resolutions to effect these changes. The company also confirmed the execution of the sale certificate on March 10, 2026, for the sale of the company on a going concern basis to AIIL.
