History

The company was established in 1937 as Crompton Parkinson Works Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crompton Parkinson. In 1947, it was acquired by Karam Chand Thapar. [6] [7] The company was established in 2016 as an outcome of the demerger of Crompton Greaves Limited which separated the latter's consumer goods business from the power and industrial systems segment. [8] The demerger plan was announced in July 2014 and it was completed in 2016 with the creation of CG Power and Industrial Solutions and Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited. [9] [10] At the time of demerger, Gautam Thapar, the former chairman of combined Crompton Greaves Limited, sold his 34% stake in CGCEL to Advent International and Temasek Holdings for ₹2000 crore.

Controversies

In November 2017, Reuters reported instances of "prescient messages" regarding the performance of 12 Indian companies in WhatsApp groups and it included Crompton. [16] The information contained upcoming quarterly results, including specific metrics such as net profits, revenues, and operating margins. [17] At that time, the matter was investigated by India's Securities and Exchange Board of India for insider trading by brokers. [18] Later, in 2021, the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) set aside the SEBI's order because the latter was failed to prove insider trading connection among and between the brokers. [18]
