The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC), on the recommendation of the Ministry of Heavy Industries, approved the proposal for his appointment. An official order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Tuesday confirmed the decision.

The selection process involved interviews conducted by the Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB) on December 31, 2024, with 10 candidates. Following the evaluation, Ramanathan’s name was recommended to the ACC for final approval.

Ramanathan, with his extensive experience at BHEL, is set to lead the company’s engineering and R&D initiatives, contributing to its ongoing technological advancements and innovations.
