Govt of India has appointed a 2006-batch IAS officer Ms Shilpa Sachin Shinde, a UT-cadre IAS officer, as the CMD of WAPCOS for five years. So far, the CMD of WAPCOS was selected by the Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB), and then approved by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC). However, the Jal Shakti Ministry is learnt to have moved a proposal of appointment of the WAPCOS CMD by the ACC directly.
