Kalyani Steels Limited, a leading producer of engineering-grade special steels and part of the Kalyani Group, announced the appointment of Amit Kalyani as chairman of the board in a planned leadership transition from Babasaheb Kalyani, who has chaired the company since its incorporation.

“Kalyani Steels was built to meet the most exacting standards from day one, and that culture of precision is our greatest strength,” said chairman, Kalyani Steels Ltd, Amit Kalyani. “As India’s manufacturing ambitions demand materials that are greener, smarter and world-class, we will accelerate our journey in green steel, advanced materials and digitalised operations, deepen our presence in strategic sectors and global markets, and set new benchmarks for the Indian steel industry.”

“Institutions endure when leadership evolves with the times,” said Babasaheb Kalyani. “Amit’s active engagement has made a significant impact on the company’s growth strategy, and I am confident that under his leadership Kalyani Steels will build on its foundations and set new benchmarks for the industry.”

Amit Kalyani, formerly vice chairman and joint managing director of Bharat Forge Ltd., has been closely associated with the Kalyani Group’s businesses for over 25 years and has led the group’s expansion into aerospace, defence, electric mobility and advanced materials. Over several years, he has worked closely with managing director, Kalyani Steels, R.K. Goyal to shape and drive the company’s growth strategy. He takes the helm of a company that has grown from a captive supplier to Bharat Forge into a respected producer serving automotive, industrial and strategic sectors in India and global markets, with total income rising from Rs 19.2 crore in 1984 to Rs 1,902 crore in FY 2025-26.

Baba Kalyani will continue to offer his counsel to the board, reinforcing the group’s vision of nation building through manufacturing excellence.
