“HPCL is pleased to announce the appointment of Shri K Vinod, Executive Director – Corporate Finance and Additional Charge of Treasury, as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Company, effective 1st June 2026,” the company said on a social media post.
Before Vinod’s appointment as HPCL’s CFO, he was the company’s Executive Director for corporate finance and was also entrusted with additional charge of the treasury function.
“With extensive experience across corporate finance and treasury functions, Shri K Vinod has played a pivotal role in strengthening HPCL’s financial framework and supporting the company’s growth journey.
