In his resignation letter addressed to the Government of Gujarat, Raj Kumar cited his retirement as the reason for stepping down from these leadership roles.
With Raj Kumar’s departure, Gujarat Gas Limited will soon initiate the process of appointing a new Chairman to oversee the company’s future growth. The company continues to play a crucial role in Gujarat’s energy sector, particularly in the distribution of natural gas for industrial, commercial, and domestic use.
GGL has assured its stakeholders that the transition will be smooth and that the company remains committed to delivering sustainable growth and operational excellence under its new leadership.
This leadership change comes at a time when Gujarat Gas is expanding its city gas distribution (CGD) network and strengthening its market position as India moves toward a cleaner energy future.
