NTPC Limited informed the exchanges on Friday that the Government of India has approved the re-employment of its Chairman & Managing Director (CMD), Shri Gurdeep Singh, on contract for one more year after his superannuation.

According to the company’s filing to BSE and NSE dated July 18, 2025, the Ministry of Power communicated that the President of India has re-employed Gurdeep Singh (DIN: 00307037) as CMD of NTPC Limited from August 1, 2025, till July 31, 2026, or until a regular incumbent assumes charge, or further orders — whichever is earlier.

The extension comes as part of the government’s decision to retain his leadership to steer the company through its ongoing strategic projects and energy transition initiatives.

NTPC stated that it is in the process of completing the statutory formalities required for the re-appointment. Further disclosures as per SEBI Listing Regulations will be submitted separately.

The decision reflects confidence in Gurdeep Singh’s leadership at India’s largest power producer during a crucial phase in the company’s growth and diversification into renewable energy.
