NEW DELHI. As per recent indications, the selection of the next CMD of NTPC Limited will be routed through the Search-cum-Selection Committee (SCSC) process. This follows a notification from the Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB) inviting applications for the top post at the Maharatna power utility.
The Last date for application is March 28, 2026.
The Search-cum-Selection Committee holds the strategic right to shortlist applicants for interviews in alignment with extant government guidelines. Furthermore, the committee is empowered to proactively make nominations of eligible and highly qualified candidates to ensure the best leadership for the organization.
The tenure of the incumbent CMD, Gurdeep Singh, is nearing its conclusion. Mr. Singh was originally scheduled to serve until July 31, 2025, but was granted a one-year extension that keeps him at the helm until July 31, 2026. This shift to the SCSC route provides the govt with the flexibility to evaluate a wider pool of talent from both the public and private sectors to lead India’s largest integrated power producer.
