New Delhi: In a significant leadership development in the public sector enterprise landscape, the Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB) has selected Anil Kumar Singh as the next Director (Commercial) of National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO). The selection was made during the PESB meeting held on August 2, 2025.

Currently serving as General Manager (Marketing & Coordination) and HR at Hindustan Copper Limited (HCL), Mr. Singh brings with him extensive experience in commercial operations, strategic planning, and human resource management in the mining and metals sector.

Selection Process and Background

The appointment follows a competitive selection process where 11 candidates were interviewed. The pool included senior officials from prestigious PSUs such as NALCO, Hindustan Copper Ltd, NMDC Ltd, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL), and Odisha Mining Corporation Ltd. The PESB had advertised the vacancy in February 2025, following the scheduled end of tenure of the previous Director (Commercial).

The post became vacant on July 1, 2025, after Mr. Sadashiv Samantaray, who had held the role since March 22, 2022, completed his term. Mr. Samantaray’s tenure was marked by several strategic initiatives in export marketing and aluminium product diversification.

Role and Significance

As Director (Commercial), Mr. Singh will be responsible for overseeing NALCO’s marketing strategy, domestic and international sales, logistics planning, procurement, and customer relationship management. The role is pivotal to the company’s performance, especially in light of global aluminium market volatility and increased domestic demand from sectors like construction, aerospace, and renewable energy.

NALCO, a Navratna CPSE under the Ministry of Mines, is among the largest integrated aluminium producers in Asia, with operations spanning bauxite mining, alumina refining, aluminium smelting, power generation, and port facilities.

Next Steps and Approval

The PESB recommendation will now be forwarded to the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) for final approval. Upon receiving the necessary clearances, Mr. Singh will formally take charge, reinforcing NALCO’s top leadership amid ongoing efforts to modernize its commercial strategy and enhance global competitiveness.

About NALCO
Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, NALCO has emerged as a key player in India’s non-ferrous metals sector. The company is known for its strong export base, energy-efficient operations, and CSR contributions, particularly in tribal and mining-affected regions.
