New Delhi: In a notable development, the Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB) has chosen not to recommend any candidate for the coveted Director (Finance) position at NMDC Limited. The decision followed a detailed selection meeting held in the capital, underscoring the Board’s commitment to rigorous standards in PSU leadership appointments.

The meeting, listed as No. 63/2025, commenced at 2:30 PM and saw ten senior finance professionals—drawn from top Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs)—present their candidature for the strategic role. NMDC, a Schedule ‘A’ CPSE under the Ministry of Steel, currently has its Director (Finance) post lying vacant.

Top Finance Officials Fall Short of PESB’s Expectations

Among those interviewed were key finance leaders from NMDC itself, including Shanthi P. (GM, Finance), Ajay Dwivedi (GM, Finance), Gali Anupama (Chief GM & CFO), and Madhurachari Jagdish (GM). Also in the fray were senior officers from NALCO, BSNL, and REC Ltd—such as Sanjay Gupta, Himanshu Sekhar Panda, Ajay Kumar Aggarwal, and Mohan Lal Kumawat.

Despite their diverse backgrounds and rich experience, the Board concluded that none of the ten candidates met the leadership expectations required for the financial stewardship of India’s largest iron ore producer.

Ministry to Consider Alternate Selection Process

PESB has now advised the Administrative Ministry to explore alternative methods for filling the vacancy. This may include convening a Search-cum-Selection Committee (SCSC), subject to necessary approvals. The recommendation reflects PESB’s steadfast emphasis on leadership quality, accountability, and strategic fit for top roles in public sector management.

This outcome also serves as a reminder of the high bar set for board-level appointments in CPSEs—particularly in roles that demand robust financial acumen and alignment with national economic priorities.
