As per the official order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Saturday, September 13, 2025, the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has approved Mr. Porwal’s appointment for an initial tenure of three years, from the date of assuming charge, or until further orders, whichever is earlier.

Boosting Governance in India’s Power Sector

SJVNL, a Mini Ratna CPSE under the Ministry of Power, plays a critical role in India’s hydro and renewable energy landscape. It is a joint venture between the Government of India and the Government of Himachal Pradesh, with an expanding portfolio of projects across India and neighboring countries.

The appointment of Mr. Porwal is expected to enhance transparency, compliance, and ethical standards within the organisation, especially as SJVNL ramps up large-scale infrastructure and green energy projects.

Experienced Officer in Strategic Oversight Role

Mr. Porwal brings over three decades of administrative experience from the Indian Telecommunication Service. His appointment to a CVO position reflects the Centre’s growing focus on deploying experienced and high-integrity officers in sensitive roles within critical sectors such as energy and infrastructure.

His leadership at SJVNL is anticipated to streamline vigilance mechanisms, ensure timely redressal of complaints, and create a proactive system to detect and deter procedural lapses or irregularities.

Focus on Vigilance Amidst Renewable Energy Push

As India pushes forward with its energy transition and climate commitments, institutions like SJVNL are playing a pivotal role in hydropower generation and clean energy diversification. Strengthening internal vigilance at such companies aligns with the government’s broader strategy to ensure accountability, transparency, and robust institutional governance in public sector enterprises.

Mr. Porwal’s appointment underscores the importance of vigilant oversight, especially as SJVNL continues to expand its projects and investments in line with national and international energy goals.
