Shriram Properties' Visakhapatnam operations chief retires; no successor named

Shriram Properties' Chief Operating Officer for its Visakhapatnam region, Balaji R, retired on superannuation with effect from the close of business on 31 October 2026, the company said in a filing to the National Stock Exchange and BSE on the same day. The filing was made under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, which requires listed companies to disclose changes in senior management. Balaji R is a designated senior management personnel of the company.

The filing records the reason for his exit as superannuation, meaning he reached the retirement age set under the company's service rules. It is not recorded as a resignation or removal. The company said it placed on record its appreciation for the services he rendered during his tenure. The filing was signed by K. Ramaswamy, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, and digitally confirmed on 31 October 2026. The company also said there was no familial or directorial relationship requiring further disclosure.

Who he is and where he worked

The company's leadership page, which is self-published, says Balaji R holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Madura College (Autonomous), Madurai Kamaraj University, and has been associated with the Shriram group since 1996. It says he has worked with Shriram Properties since 1 January 2011, in operations and management roles.

The company lists Bengaluru, Chennai, Coimbatore and Visakhapatnam among its southern markets. Its Visakhapatnam projects are in Madhurawada, which project listings place close to the YSR Cricket Stadium, the RTC Complex and the railway station. Listings show the Panorama Hills development launched in 2012 and 2015 and the Iconica Grande villas launched in September 2021.

What has not been announced

The filing names no successor and gives no date for an appointment. The next formal step would be a further Regulation 30 filing once the company names a replacement. This is the second senior management change the company has disclosed in 2026. In January it disclosed the resignation of a senior vice president and national head (CXM), with a resignation date of 25 January 2026 and an effective date of 7 March 2026.

For home buyers, the filing says nothing about ongoing Visakhapatnam deliveries, bookings or prices. It describes a planned retirement and does not involve any financial transaction, share issue or change in shareholding. The company's most recent results presentation in the sources, for the quarter and half-year ended 30 September 2025, reported gross margins above 30 per cent in both periods.

The item to watch is whether the company names a successor for the Visakhapatnam operations role in a later exchange filing, and how quickly it does so.
