Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited announced that Nikhil Thakkar will cease to be a Senior Management Personnel (SMP) effective the closure of business hours on October 15, 2026. The change results from his transition to a new role within the company, altering the internal reporting structure.

Nature of the Transition

Thakkar, who served as Head of Internal Audit, Risk and Control, will continue to be associated with the company in his new capacity. The filing explicitly states that this transition does not constitute a cessation of employment. Consequently, he no longer falls within the definition of SMP as prescribed under Regulation 16(1)(d) of the SEBI Listing Regulations.

The disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The move was communicated to both the BSE and the National Stock Exchange of India on October 15, 2026.

Governance and Compliance Context

During his tenure as Head of Internal Audit, Risk and Control, Thakkar played an instrumental role in strengthening the company's internal audit framework and risk management processes. The company noted that he led several initiatives aimed at enhancing governance standards and improving control effectiveness.

His contributions were cited as supporting the company's commitment to robust compliance and operational excellence. The revised reporting structure reflects a strategic realignment of responsibilities within the organization.

This administrative change ensures compliance with SEBI Master Circular No. HO/49/14/14(7)2025-CFD-POD2/I/3762/2026 dated January 30, 2026. The company requested the exchanges to take the information on record.

Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd introduced three new initiatives on October 12, 2026, including the InstaNourish Pro multi-purpose kettle priced at ₹2,700, an AI-powered Durga Puja digital film, and the INTELLISENSE SmartPro wireless water level controller.

The company disclosed these product launches and marketing campaigns under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The announcements highlight Crompton’s strategy to expand its small kitchen appliance portfolio and leverage artificial intelligence for consumer engagement in traditionally functional categories like pumps.

InstaNourish Pro multi-purpose kettle

The InstaNourish Pro is a 1.2-litre appliance designed to combine searing, steaming, and boiling capabilities in a single compact unit. It targets consumers in smaller living spaces or hostels where access to conventional cooking appliances may be limited. The kettle features a 600W heating element, a stainless steel steamer basket, and a cool-touch body to enhance safety. Additional features include dry boil protection with auto shut-off, a wide mouth for easy cleaning, and an LED operation indicator. The product comes with a one-year warranty and is available across authorized retail outlets and e-commerce platforms.

AI-powered Durga Puja campaign

Crompton Pumps released an AI-generated digital film titled "Paani ka Saathi" to celebrate Durga Puja preparations. This marks the brand’s fourth film utilizing AI technology in its festive campaigns. The narrative integrates Crompton’s comprehensive pumping ecosystem, ranging from residential and agricultural pumps to smart connected control panels, into traditional rituals such as alpana creation and bhog preparation. The campaign aims to transform the perception of pumps from purely functional hardware to intelligent, lifestyle-enhancing solutions.

INTELLISENSE SmartPro water controller

The INTELLISENSE SmartPro is a wireless water level controller that integrates control panel functionality with automated pump operation. It utilizes LoRa technology to enable communication between the main controller and overhead tank sensors up to the seventh floor without inter-floor wiring. Key specifications include:

The device allows remote monitoring of water levels, scheduling of pump operations, and fault alerts via smartphone. It includes protection against voltage fluctuations, overload, and dry-run conditions.

Strategic focus on smart ecosystems

The simultaneous launch of kitchen appliances and smart water management solutions reflects Crompton’s effort to deepen its presence in the consumer durables market. By bundling hardware with app-based connectivity and AI-driven marketing, the company seeks to differentiate itself in low-involvement categories. The move aligns with its broader sustainability goals, having recently received GreenPro certification for B2B lighting solutions and expanded into solar rooftop systems.
