Kilburn Engineering Appoints Amritanshu Khaitan As Chairman

15 Apr 2026 CW Team

The company and its subsidiaries closed FY2026 with order bookings of six billion (bn), and it is currently managing an enquiry pipeline of more than 40 bn for FY2027, which the board said provided clear visibility for future order inflows. Based on the current pipeline and business momentum, management is targeting order inflows exceeding eight bn during the year. Kilburn has also partially prepaid term debt ahead of schedule and expects to be net debt-free by June 2026, a development that materially strengthens the balance sheet. The improved financial position is cited as enabling investment in growth initiatives.

With a focus on scalable and margin-accretive expansion, the company intends to pursue disciplined capital allocation and technology-led growth through global partnerships and collaborations. Selective strategic opportunities and acquisitions will be considered where they add value and align with core capabilities in drying and energy management solutions. Execution capability and a robust enquiry pipeline are highlighted as foundations for sustainable value creation.

Kilburn Engineering is described as a pioneer in industrial drying and energy recovery systems serving carbon black, petrochemicals, fertilisers, steel, pharmaceuticals, and tea sectors, and is headquartered in Mumbai with a manufacturing facility in Thane and a production plant in Pune operated through its subsidiary M.E. Energy. The company noted over four decades of engineering experience and a track record of customised solutions for critical industrial processes. A standard disclaimer was included that forward-looking statements may differ due to various factors.

Kilburn Engineering has appointed Amritanshu Khaitan as non-executive chairman of the board, with the appointment effective from 21 April 2026 following the completion of the term of the company’s independent chairman, Manmohan Singh, who will retire in line with governance norms. The board recorded its appreciation for Mr Singh’s leadership and contributions during his tenure. The change is presented as a continuity measure to lead the company into its next phase of growth.
