New Delhi (23.06.2026): Anticipating an upcoming vacancy at the top tier of IRCON International Ltd, the Ministry of Railways has handed additional charge of the Managing Director post to Saleem Ahmad, the incumbent CMD of Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd (RVNL).
The interim arrangement will begin w.e.f. 01.07.2026, following the superannuation of outgoing IRCON CMDHari Mohan Gupta on June 30. Ahmad's dual stewardship is slated to run until 30.06.2027, or until a regular incumbent takes charge whichever occurs earlier.
Placing both infrastructure heavyweights under a single operational command, though temporarily, signals the Govt’s intent to maintain absolute execution continuity amid an intensifying capital expenditure push in the railway sector.
