New Delhi, May 27, 2025 – The selection process for the prestigious Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) position at the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) Limited has reached its final stage.
Sources confirm that the Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB) has announced June 11, 2025, as the date for interviews, with call letters issued to 11 shortlisted candidates. This marks a significant milestone for one of India’s leading hydropower companies.
As previously reported, the CMD position drew applications from over two dozen aspirants, including several serving CMDs from other public sector undertakings. From this pool, 11 candidates have been shortlisted after a rigorous screening process. The selection is generating significant buzz in the corporate and energy sectors, given NHPC’s critical role in advancing India’s renewable energy goals as a Navratna company.
The PESB’s selection process will evaluate candidates’ strategic vision, leadership capabilities, and operational expertise through personal interviews. The final appointment will depend on the candidates’ performance during these interviews, with the selected leader tasked with driving NHPC’s ambitious corporate objectives in hydropower and renewable energy development.
Industry insiders are keenly watching the outcome. “The competition is fierce, with several seasoned leaders in the fray,” said a senior official familiar with the process, speaking on condition of anonymity. “The chosen CMD will play a pivotal role in shaping NHPC’s future, especially as India accelerates its push for sustainable energy solutions.”
However, uncertainties linger. Observers are watching closely to see if the PESB will successfully appoint a candidate or if, as seen in rare instances like NTPC’s recent selection process, the board might declare none of the candidates suitable. The outcome is critical for stakeholders, as NHPC continues to strengthen its presence in India’s renewable energy sector.
With the interview date approaching, all eyes are on June 11, 2025, to see who will be chosen to lead NHPC into its next phase of growth and innovation.
