Kailashchandra Nuwal Biography
Kailashchandra Nuwal, born in 1957, is the younger brother of Solar's founder. He was vice chairman until 2019, when he left the board and began a legal fight for reinstatement 15.
Kailashchandra Nuwal's early life
Forbes gives Kailashchandra Nuwal's date of birth as 6 July 1957 1. He is the younger brother of Satyanarayan Nuwal, who was born in Bhilwara, Rajasthan, in 1952 and moved to Maharashtra in 1979 to trade in explosives 9. Kailashchandra's own birthplace, schooling and the early years of his career have not been reliably published, and this profile does not fill those gaps with guesses.
At Solar Industries
Solar's first explosives plant was set up in 1995, and the company entered defence manufacturing in 2010 9. Kailashchandra rose to vice chairman and director of the company 1. A Supreme Court order records that the term of the director concerned ran from 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2021 5.
Leaving the board
Forbes reports that he had to step down in 2019 for failing to disclose his stake in a private company, and that he then approached the NCLT seeking reinstatement 1. The tribunal passed an order on 9 February 2021, and Solar Industries took the matter to the NCLAT, which ruled on 14 December 2021 46. Kailashchandra's lawyers later told the Supreme Court that their side had succeeded in the order under appeal 5.
In the Supreme Court
Solar Industries appealed. On 10 January 2022 the Supreme Court stayed both tribunal orders while allowing the NCLT to keep hearing the case 4. On 26 August 2025 it disposed of the appeal without ruling on the merits, because the directorship term had expired, and asked the NCLT to decide the company petition quickly, with all contentions left open 5.
Today
He remains a significant Solar shareholder. In 2023 he voted against four resolutions at the annual general meeting, including one to alter the articles of association 1.
