New Delhi, India — In a significant leadership development within the public sector power sector, NHPC Limited is expected to appoint Director (Finance) R.P. Goyal as its new Chairman and Managing Director (CMD), according to sources familiar with the matter.
This anticipated move comes following the completion of the tenure of current CMD Raj Kumar Chaudhary, marking the end of his leadership at India’s premier hydropower company. Industry insiders indicate that Goyal, a seasoned finance executive with extensive experience in the energy sector, is the frontrunner to take the helm of the state-owned enterprise.
R.P. Goyal has played a pivotal role in NHPC’s financial strategy and has been instrumental in steering the company through key projects and investment plans. His expected elevation is being viewed as a move to ensure continuity and financial prudence in NHPC’s ambitious plans to expand renewable energy assets and improve operational efficiency.
NHPC, a key player in India’s transition to clean and sustainable power, is actively engaged in developing large-scale hydropower and solar projects. The leadership transition is taking place at a time when the energy sector is witnessing increased emphasis on green energy financing, regulatory reforms, and public-private collaboration.
The official confirmation regarding the appointment is awaited, but internal sources suggest that the charge may be handed over shortly, subject to government procedures.
As India pushes for energy security and sustainability, leadership at strategic public sector undertakings like NHPC will play a critical role in shaping the future of the country’s power infrastructure. RP Goyal’s possible appointment is likely to align with NHPC’s vision of becoming a major player in the evolving clean energy landscape.
