In a significant development within India’s corporate governance landscape, Anant Kumar Singh, an IPS officer of the 1994 batch from MP cadre, currently serving as Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) of Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IOCL), Delhi, has been entrusted with an additional responsibility.
The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has issued an order granting Singh the additional charge of CVO at Gas Authority of India Ltd. (GAIL), Delhi.
The order, issued on Monday, 8th July 2024, specifies that Anant Kumar Singh will hold the additional charge for a period of six months from the date of assuming the post’s charge. This appointment will continue until the appointment of a regular CVO for GAIL or until further orders, whichever occurs first.
This decision underscores Singh’s proven competence and trust in his abilities to oversee vigilance and anti-corruption measures across two of India’s prominent public sector enterprises in the energy sector.
With sustainability and transparency being key priorities for both IOCL and GAIL, Singh’s dual role is expected to bolster governance frameworks and enhance vigilance practices within these organizations.
As the global energy landscape evolves, Singh’s leadership will play a crucial role in ensuring compliance, integrity, and operational efficiency within IOCL and GAIL, contributing to their mission of sustainable development and responsible corporate citizenship.
