State-run NHPC on Monday said Sanjay Kumar Singh has taken on the additional role of Chairman and Managing Director of the company, effective September 1, 2025. He will continue to serve as Director (Projects) at India’s leading hydropower firm.
An experienced civil engineer with over 33 years in the power sector, Singh has a strong track record of managing major infrastructure projects in India and Bhutan.
