Kumar Mangalam Birla has been appointed as the Non-Executive Chairman of Vodafone Idea Limited's Board of Directors, effective May 5, 2026. This decision follows the acceptance of Ravinder Takkar's request to step down from the position of Non-Executive Chairman, although he will continue as a Non-Executive Director and will take on the role of Non-Executive Vice Chairman from the same date. Birla, who was already serving as a Non-Executive Director on the board, holds the Director Identification Number 00012813. Takkar, with DIN 01719511, remains in his directorial role. The company made this announcement in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulations, filing the information with both the National Stock Exchange of India and BSE Limited. Importantly, neither Birla nor Takkar is related to any other director of the company.
