Managing Director of Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) Brijesh Dixit has been relieved of his charge. The decision comes after Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) rejected decision of Maharashtra Government to grant another five-years extension to Dixit. As such, Dixit handed over the charge to senior most Director of MMRCL Nitin Karir, Additional Chief Secretary, Finance, on Monday, at Mumbai.
Dixit has already put in eight-years of services as MD and he belongs to 1980 batch of Indian Railway Service of Engineers (IRSE). He joined MMRCL on deputation basis and was later appointed as MD from April 16, 2018, and Dixit is going to attain age of 65-years within next few months. Hence, it was decided not to give any further extension to Dixit as MD of Maha Metro.
