Leadership Transition at Omnitex Industries (India) Ltd: Narendra Dalmia Steps Down as Managing Director

Omnitex Industries (India) Ltd has made a major change in its senior leadership, with Narendra Dalmia stepping down as Managing Director. Dalmia, one of the top leaders of the company for almost a decade, has played a crucial role in formulating Omnitex's strategy and development in the polyester and textiles business.

 

Key Highlights

 

Narendra Dalmia has been the Managing Director and Director of Omnitex Industries (India) Ltd since May 29, 2015, with more than 45 years of experience in the industry and a significant ownership interest in the company.

 

Omnitex established a reputation for stability and industry knowledge under his leadership, with Dalmia being deeply aligned with the promoter group and known for his extensive understanding of the polyester business.

 

The management of the company has undergone other recent alterations, such as the August 2024 resignation of Amit Dalmia as Non-Executive Independent Director and the appointment of Bhavik Ashokkumar Shah as an Additional Director and Independent Director.

 

The transition comes as Omnitex continues to operate as a small-cap player in the Indian textiles sector, with a market capitalization of approximately Rs 120 crore and a diversified board comprising experienced professionals from the industry.

 

The shareholders and board of the company had recently deliberated on the re-appointment of Narendra Dalmia for another five-year term, a testament to the high degree of trust and confidence vested in his leadership. His exit brings an era to a close and heralds a new chapter for Omnitex's management and future course.

 

The board is also likely to reveal more information about succession plans and interim leadership plans in the near future, as Omnitex aims to provide continuity and expand on the basis laid during Dalmia's leadership.
