If you have the column utility (most free Unices has):
$ column -t -s ';' infile.csv >outfile.txt
$ cat outfile.txt
Column A
Company code Company Desc Region Code Region Desc
H Hindustan 13 Maharashtra
I Unilever 28 Dadra
Then it's a matter of inserting the "Column B", "Column C" etc., but it was not clear from the question if these were part of the input/output or not.
EDIT: After the question was clarified:
Replace the ; in the CSV file by commas using tr, then re-import the file into Excel.
$ tr ';' ',' <infile.csv >outfile.csv
Excel should also be able to import your original data if you specify ; as column delimiters. I'm no Excel user though so I can't help with that.

Dear Kusalananda, thank you for your inputs. I am having numeric data also. Once it is saving into CSV all the formats are changing. Like amount (numbers) coming as "1777686.23-" instead of "-1777686.23" Please let me know how to get this minus sign as a prefix instead of suffix
